Sign Customiser now lets merchants control whether optional letter parts — like face colours or lighting effects — are pre-selected or left blank when a customer first opens the customiser. This gives you more flexibility over the initial sign preview and can simplify the buying experience for products where certain parts are truly add-ons.

## What’s Changed

- **New “Default to none” setting**When editing an optional colour selection in the admin, a new checkbox lets you choose whether the part starts unselected when the customiser loads
- **Cleaner starting experience**Customers see a simpler sign preview by default and can add optional parts as they explore, rather than needing to remove pre-selected options
- **Backwards compatible**Existing optional parts continue to behave exactly as before, pre-selecting the first available colour
