+## [1.34.0] - 2026-04-17
+
+### Added
+- Inline custom section creation: a dashed "+ Create custom section" placeholder appears when hovering the gap between two sections (and stays visible below the last section as a discoverability hint). Clicking it opens the creation dialog and inserts the new section directly after the one above it. No more round-trip through Settings.
+- Inline rename and delete controls on every custom section header (pencil + trash icons), alongside the existing visibility toggle.
+
+### Removed
+- Custom Sections tab in Settings — the inline placeholder and header controls cover every path that tab used to provide.
+- Ability to change a custom section's layout type after creation. Layout is chosen once on creation; if a different layout is needed, create a new section and move the items over.

     There's no hard limit. Create as many as you need.
 
 ??? question "Can I change a custom section's layout type after creating it?"
-    Yes. Edit the section and select a different layout. Note that some fields may not carry over between layout types (e.g., switching from cards to social links).
+    No. The layout is chosen once at creation and locked after that. If you need a different layout, add a new custom section with the layout you want and move the items over, then delete the old section. The only thing the section's inline **Rename** (pencil) button changes is the title.
 
 ??? question "What's the difference between 'Bullet Points' and 'Free Text' layouts?"
     **Bullet Points** renders each line as a bulleted list item with a group title. **Free Text** renders plain text with preserved line breaks and no title — similar to the About/Bio section.

     Er is geen vaste limiet. U kunt er zoveel aanmaken als u nodig heeft.
 
 ??? question "Kan ik het lay-outtype van een aangepaste sectie wijzigen nadat ik deze heb aangemaakt?"
-    Ja. Bewerk de sectie en selecteer een andere lay-out. Houd er rekening mee dat sommige velden mogelijk niet behouden blijven bij het wisselen van lay-outtype (bijv. bij het overschakelen van kaarten naar sociale links).
+    Nee. Het lay-outtype wordt eenmalig bij het aanmaken gekozen en daarna vergrendeld. Als u een andere lay-out nodig heeft, maak een nieuwe aangepaste sectie aan met de gewenste lay-out, verplaats de items daarheen en verwijder daarna de oude sectie. De knop Hernoemen (potlood) in de sectiekop wijzigt alleen de titel.
 
 ??? question "Wat is het verschil tussen de layouts 'Opsommingstekens' en 'Vrije tekst'?"
     **Opsommingstekens** geeft elke regel weer als een lijstitem met opsommingsteken en een groepstitel. **Vrije tekst** geeft platte tekst weer met behouden regelafbrekingen en zonder titel — vergelijkbaar met de sectie Over mij/Bio.

     Não existe limite rígido. Crie quantas precisar.
 
 ??? question "Posso alterar o tipo de layout de uma secção personalizada após criá-la?"
-    Sim. Edite a secção e selecione um layout diferente. Note que alguns campos podem não ser transferidos entre tipos de layout (por exemplo, mudar de cartões para links sociais).
+    Não. O tipo de layout é escolhido uma única vez na criação e depois fica bloqueado. Se precisar de um layout diferente, adicione uma nova secção personalizada com o layout pretendido, mova os itens para lá e elimine a secção antiga. O botão Renomear (lápis) no cabeçalho da secção apenas altera o título.
 
 ??? question "Qual a diferença entre os layouts 'Marcadores' e 'Texto livre'?"
     **Marcadores** apresenta cada linha como um item de lista com marcador e um título de grupo. **Texto livre** apresenta texto simples com quebras de linha preservadas e sem título — semelhante à secção Sobre/Bio.

     没有硬性限制。您可以根据需要创建任意数量。
 
 ??? question "创建后可以更改自定义板块的布局类型吗？"
-    可以。编辑该板块并选择不同的布局。请注意，某些字段可能无法在布局类型之间完全保留（例如，从卡片切换到社交链接）。
+    不可以。布局类型在创建时选定，之后无法更改。如果需要其他布局，请新建一个使用目标布局的自定义板块，将条目移入其中，再删除旧的板块。板块标题栏中的"重命名"按钮（铅笔图标）只能修改标题。
 
 ??? question "'要点列表'和'自由文本'布局有什么区别？"
     **要点列表**将每一行渲染为带有组标题的项目符号列表项。**自由文本**渲染纯文本，保留换行符且没有标题——类似于"关于我"板块。
