A new video has been released as part of the Display Builder series: Display Builder: Installation and Overview
What it covers:
- Installation: A step-by-step guide on how to install the module via Composer and enable it in Drupal.

New Features (Beta 2)

- Config Summary in Layers Panel (#3564094): The Layers panel now shows a summary of configuration properties (props) alongside styles.
- Duplicate Page Layouts (#3556517): Adds a "Duplicate" button to Page Layout entities for faster cloning.

- JSON API Compatibility (#3570382): Resolved a fatal error when accessing data via JSON API.
