+#### Check your footer displays as expected
+
+We’ve made some fixes to the alignment of columns within the footer component, so they align with our grid. This involved changing the name and position of the `govuk-footer__list—columns` classes.
+
+Replace any instances of `govuk-footer__list—columns` classes with `govuk-footer__section—columns`.
+
+If you're using HTML, you'll also need to move the classes from the `govuk-footer__list` element to the `govuk-footer__section` element. For example:
+
+```
+<div class="govuk-footer__section govuk-footer__section—columns-2">
+  <ul class="govuk-footer__list">...</ul>
+</div>
+```

+### New Features
+
+#### Add footer sections which span multiple columns
+
+You can now have footer sections which span multiple columns, but do not contain multiple columns of list items.
+
+This may be helpful if you want to highlight a specific link in the footer, but you also want it to align with a section below that has multiple columns of list items.
+
+To do this, use the `span` macro option. If you're using the HTML component, apply the appropriate class to the `govuk-footer__section` element, for example:
+
+```
+<div class="govuk-footer__section govuk-footer__section—span-2">
+  <ul class="govuk-footer__list">...</ul>
+</div>
+```

+This feature was introduced in [pull request #2446: Add support for footer sections that span multiple columns](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/2446)
