End-User Facing Messages and Walkthroughs

Updates are made to the design of messages both individually and inside of a campaign or walkthrough. The functionality and behavior of messages, campaigns, and walkthroughs remain the same.

Note: Canvas currently does not have dark mode, therefore, the dark theme message mode in Impact General Settings is being deprecated.
