# What's new in Polaris 2.0.0-rc.1

DateOctober 1, 2026

SurfacesPolaris

Polaris 2.0.0-rc.1 brings more components in line with the new admin style update, fixes several layout and event-handling bugs, and improves mounting and update performance.

## What's changed

### Components

* Table now matches the updated Shopify admin design.
* Tooltip can now be placed in Section's supplemental slot.
* Section now supports equal-height cards within the same Grid.
* Select now matches the height of TextField and other inputs.
* Badge now uses a pill shape on mobile.
* Banner title contrast has been improved.
* ColorPicker saturation-well shadow fixed at the corners.

### Layout

* On narrow screens, Section’s primary action moves below the card instead of squeezing the heading.
* Section headings and subheadings now have tighter spacing.
* Aside Section headings now use the default text color.
* Menu icons use the secondary icon color at rest.
* Page aside Section styling is fixed.
* Page/Section secondary actions no longer lose their disclosure icon when their Menu or label is added after mount.
* The first nested Section no longer sits lower than other first children.
* Slotted actions no longer disappear when component markup is injected into an already-connected element.

### Reliability, state and performance

* `GlobalThis.polaris` state is no longer lost when a page loads the bundle more than once.
* Modal actions now fire a bubbling click even with `commandFor` set.
* TextField accessory clicks now reach React `onClick` handlers.
* Faster mounting and updates, especially on pages without React, and less re-rendering from unrelated attribute changes on ChoiceList, Menu, Modal, Select, and pickers.
