Update v2.2 for AVE II is live on Fab!⚜️
We changed quite a lot inside the project structure and made several optimizations.

What’s New:

🔹 “Push” POI Registration: Faster level load times and dynamic registration of POIs.
🔹 CRM Data Alignment: Blueprint variables and naming conventions now align with industry-standard CRM software (Salesforce, Propertybase, Yardi, etc.).
🔹 Google Sheets Integration: Fetch live CSV data at runtime to update units instantly using our free Add-On.
🔹 Media Gallery for POIs: Images and videos are now easily accessible from the POI Info Panel.

⚠️(Note: This update is exclusively for Unreal Engine 5.7 and above.)

✅ We have implemented synchronized hover states between list items and POI labels in AVE II.
Now, hovering over a list item instantly highlights its corresponding label in the scene, and vice versa. This feature makes the user experience so much better! 🥰
