🚀 New features

• Poll scheduling — a poll can now have an optional Start and End date. Before the start date visitors see "The poll has not started yet"; after the end date the poll switches to read-only results with a "The poll is closed" notice. Both boundary days are voting days.
• Poll management for editors — while the page is in edit mode, the poll owner gets a toolbar with Close poll, Reopen poll and Delete poll (with a confirmation dialog). Reopening clears the boundary that blocks the poll — the passed end date or the future start date.
• Percentage labels on the chart — a new Show percentage value toggle displays the share of votes directly on the chart: inside the slices of pie and doughnut charts (with automatic black/white contrast), next to the bars and points of the other chart types.
• Show results before voting — a new Show results before voting option lets users open the live results via a View Results button without casting a vote, and return to the voting form at any time.
• Change vote — a new per-poll setting Allow users to change their vote. When enabled, a voter can withdraw their response with the Change vote button and vote again while the poll is open. Works for anonymous polls too.
• Export to Excel — a new Export to Excel option adds a button under the results chart. The workbook contains a summary sheet (option / votes / percentage) and, for non-anonymous polls, a details sheet with individual responses (user, choice, date). The Excel engine is loaded on demand, so the web part bundle stays small.
• Animation duration slider — the chart animation duration is now configurable in the property pane (0 disables the animation); the setting previously existed but had no effect.
• Smarter live updates — the 10-second results refresh is paused while the browser tab is hidden and fires immediately when the user returns to the tab. The refresh now also runs for closed polls and the results preview.
