Power Switch • Updated the page design to improve clarity around Power Switch actions and provide learning materials. • Improved Power Button tap setup to ensure each action uses a unique tap count.

Battery Level (Single Tap), Next Grip (Double Tap), Freeze (Triple Tap). Control System • Introduced a redesigned Control System flow to improve clarity and reduce accidental modifications. • Control methods are now grouped under Control Selection, with clear descriptions provided for each option. • Added a required acknowledgment step indicating that Control Selection should only be adjusted by a clinician or with proper guidance. • Added a confirmation dialog to ensure users intentionally select and apply a new control method Manage Updates

Submit Feedback • Introduced a feedback form accessible through General Settings and the Grip Editor.
