🚀 New features

• Audience targeting — show a tile only to selected SharePoint groups of the site or Microsoft Entra ID groups. Tiles without an audience stay visible to everyone; targeting hides the tile, it does not protect the link.
• Tile description — a short text shown under the title and in the tooltip. The new Show Descriptions setting turns it off.
• Background image — use your own picture as the tile background: enter a URL or pick an image from the document libraries of the site.
• Custom icon image — any image can replace the icon, next to the Standard, File type, App, Azure and Vitextra icon sets.
• Import & export — save the tiles to a JSON file and load them on another page or site with Replace all or Add to existing.
• More link types — tiles can open e-mail, phone, text message and Microsoft Teams links (mailto:, tel:, sms:, msteams:).
• Blur effect — a new Blur option in the Hover Effect list (0–20 px).
• Faster loading — visitors load about half as much code; the editing tools and the dialog viewer are loaded only when they are needed.
• Smoother hover effect — the effect is animated both when the pointer enters and when it leaves a tile, works on keyboard focus and respects the “reduce motion” system setting.
• Full-screen video — YouTube videos opened in a dialog can be switched to full screen, and the dialog fits narrow screens.
• SharePoint Framework 1.24 — the web part is built on the current SharePoint Framework and React 18.
