New changes to block's header!

We’ve recently updated our block headers for a more simplified look. This article is designed to outline all the new behaviors.  Introducing the Formula icon for hiding the formula bar!  There is now an formula icon that can be used to hide and show the formula bar. Members can click the new formula icon to expand and collapse the formula bar. Also when using the drilldown options, Members can click on “Show/Hide formula breakdown” to expand and collapse the formula bar.We optimised the experience for each type of user. If the Member is considered a “modeller” (either have the ‘Can Configure Block’ or the ‘Can Open Block Explorer’) then the formula and the formula breakdown will be displayed by default. All remaining Members will be considered as “contributors” and the formula and formula breakdown won’t be displayed by default.
