  • Restores the | and ~ separators.
  • Reduces the right padding of the collapsible sidebar buttons to match Gutenberg's new styling.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where the analysis highlight button would be visible on tags, categories, and custom taxonomies even though we don't support highlighting for those types.
  • Fixes a bug where links to items on the same page were incorrectly identified as links to other pages, leading to an incorrect result on the Link keyphrase assessment.
