### Jetpack Connection
### Admin Page

In this release, we've made multiple changes to the connection process in order to make more reliable. Do not hesitate to report any issues you may experience when you connect your test site to WordPress.com.
We've made some changes to simplify the Jetpack Dashboard interface when your user is not connected to WordPress.com yet. You can check this by adding a new admin (or any other role) user to your site, logging in with that user, and going to Jetpack > Dashboard. You should only see things that you can act on, depending on your role.

#### Transfer Jetpack ownership to another admin
### Blocks

We've also added a new notice to the Users screen, to warn admins that are about to delete another admin user, when that user happens to be the main Jetpack admin on the site. We then offer that admin the option to transfer the Jetpack connection before to delete the user.
We've made some changes to ensure that blocks are properly translated in the block editor. If you switch to a language that offers language packs, like French or Spanish, you should see that Jetpack Blocks will now be translated in the editor.

To test this:
### Carousel

1. On your connected site, go to the Users Menu.
2. Add a new admin user to the site - let'a call it User B.
3. In a separate (incognito?) window, log into the site as User B.
4. Go to the Jetpack dashboard and connect User B to WordPress.com.
5. Still logged in as User B, go to the users page.
6. Click to delete the main user.
- You should be taken to a confirmation page to delete, where you should see a new notice inviting you to transfer Jetpack ownership.
In this release, we've made some changes to how the Carousel metadata was added to each gallery. To test this:

### Jetpack Videos

We've added extra settings to the Video block. To test this, try the following:

- Go to Media > Library and upload a video.
- Purchase a paid plan
- Enable the Video option under Jetpack > Settings > Performance
- Go to Media > Library and upload a video.
- Once it's converted, go to Posts > Add New.
- In that new post, look for **the Video block**.
- Look for the first video you've uploaded first, and try to use any of the settings in the block sidebar. Make sure they work well.
- Then, insert an additional block with the second video, uploaded using Jetpack Videos. The video preview should use the Jetpack Video player, but the block sidebar options should still be there and work.

**Note**: some browsers do not respect the autoplay settings, so that setting may not work in all browsers.

### Widgets

We've made some changes to the Contact Info Widget in this release. It could sometimes prove difficult to add a map to the widget. We've tried to make that process more straightforward by fixing some bugs, surfacing errors for site owners, and displaying previews in the dashboard.

To test this, activate the Extra Sidebar Widgets feature on your site, head over to Appearance > Customize or Appearance > Widgets, and try to add a Contact Info Widget with a map.

You'll want to test and see what happens when you don't provide an API key, when you provide an incorrect key, or when your Google API settings restrict access to that key.
* In a new post, insert a variety of blocks:
- A classic block with a gallery
- A classic block with a tiled gallery
- A gallery block
- A Tiled Gallery block
- A column block with some text
- A column block with a gallery block in it.
* Publish your post
* When moving your mouse over each block, make sure the cursor only becomes a pointer when the element can be expanded to a Carousel modal.
