Description

Adds an update post announcing that the five section headers on the Link consent screen (Purpose, Access, Account information, Platform data, Retention) are now customizable, per integration category. Previously only the body content of each section could be changed.

Clients can set the headers in the Portal under Settings > Auth flow > Link > Onboarding, or in code via the Link SDK text option. Headers are plain text, capped at 50 characters, and fall back to the existing defaults when left empty — so nothing changes visually for anyone who doesn't opt in.

Doc changes alongside the post:

  • customize-link.md — expands Data access consent with a table of the five sections and their default headers, the 50-character plain text limit, and a note that the Portal Link editor applies to the en-US locale only.
  • sdk-customize-code.md — documents the five consents.headers.* custom text keys.

One drive-by fix worth calling out: the custom text table listed accounting.consents.accountInfo (and the banking/commerce equivalents), but the SDK's options schema only accepts accountInformation. Anyone following that row was setting a key the SDK silently ignores. Corrected in the same commit — happy to split it out if you'd rather review it separately.

Both PNGs were checked against the existing images in static/img/updates/ and are comfortably within the typical size range.

Add an update post for EXP-361, which makes the five consent screen
section headers (Purpose, Access, Account information, Platform data,
Retention) customizable per integration category.

Docs changes:
- customize-link.md: expand Data access consent with the section/default
  header table, the 50-character plain text limit, and a note that the
  Portal Link editor applies to the en-US locale only.
- sdk-customize-code.md: document the five consents.headers.* custom text
  keys. Also corrects consents.accountInfo to consents.accountInformation,
  which is the key the SDK actually accepts.
