### Additional support for content and metadata management
After some time the content and metadata management hasn't been loved enough, with this version of ADF there are a good number of improvements on the way to consume content metadata in ADF components and ADF based applications. Most of them are developed for an improved and more appealing end-user experience.
As one of the most requested enhancements, it would be valuable to highlight the changed User Experience in the metadata editing on the adf-card-view-component ([ADF-4900](https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ADF-4900)). Below picture showing it.
TODO

### Improved accessibility
To help the accessibility of ADF based applications, some colour changes have been developed with the purpose to reach the AA Accessibility. Check 1. [ADF-5089](https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ADF-5089) for the full list of issues done.
