Radzen Text Editor

Oqtane Marketplace
The Oqtane Marketplace was originally designed using an "App Store" approach where all interactions were expected to occur through the Oqtane Framework. This model works well however there is a need to support other user flows. As a result, the Marketplace will be evolving which will result in the following benefits:
- Installation Id not required when ordering
- License creation independent from order process
- Allow multiple users per company/organization
- More product license options
- Support for traditional online payment and procurement flows
Changes to the Marketplace are expected to be deployed in September
Discussion
Some questions were asked related to the new developer experience and Radzen Text Editor
