 ## Features and enhancements {#features-and-enhancements}
 
+### Preview any DataObject in any admin section {#cms-preview}
+
+The CMS preview panel has historically on been available for `Versioned` `DataObjects` in the Pages admin section. This has now been expanded to allow any `DataObject`(regardless of whether they use the`Versioned` extension) to be previewed in any section of the CMS.
+
+This can be used to allow content authors to see the content they are creating in the context it will be presented to users. Example use cases include previewing `DataObjects` which belong to a page (e.g. the [dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-elemental) allows previewing elemental blocks which are not inline-editable), and previewing `DataObjects` in a custom admin section, such as templates for emails or system-generated PDF documents.
+
+The [Preview Documentation](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/developer_guides/customising_the_admin_interface/preview/) has been updated with code examples which show how to enable CMS preview on `DataObjects` in a couple of different scenarios.
+
+
+### Other new features {#other-features}
+
+- A new [AbstractGridFieldComponent](https://api.silverstripe.org/4/SilverStripe/Forms/GridField/AbstractGridFieldComponent.html) class has been added to make it easier to globally add fundamental functionality to `GridFieldComponent`s. All classes packaged with the Silverstripe framework which implement the `GridFieldComponent` interface are subclasses of the new abstract class, making them all `Injectable`. Maintainers of third-party packages which include classes that implement `GridFieldComponent` are encouraged to subclass the `AbstractGridFieldComponent` abstract class.
+- New options have been added to the [dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-elemental) to control what content is indexed for searching elemental blocks. see [the documentation](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-elemental/blob/4/docs/en/searching-blocks.md) for details.
