New widgets for 3D Eyewear projects:

We recommend using a 3D Press Button in place of the 3D Button , as the 3D Button widget will be deprecated in a future release.

In May, the 3D Button widget will no longer available for new projects. This will not immediately affect existing projects that contain 3D Button widgets, and you will still be able to edit and re-publish projects that contain them.
In the future (TBD) all existing 3D Buttons will be transitioned to 3D Press Buttons . More information on this transition will be forthcoming.
