| 2023-03-04 |  | | I have found that z-context v2.1.0 doesn't work (empty panel) upon first install until the browser is restarted. Temp fix: restart chrome browser after install. FAQ: Where does the Z-index panel appear? On the panel row with the Styles tab, at the very end, probably need to click the disclosure >> You can then rearrange by dragging the tab left. | |
