Configuring the Portable Text editor

Fixed multiple permission-related issues across Content Releases:

• Document actions (discard version and unpublish) now properly respect user permissions
• Action menus and buttons for creating releases and discarding versions follow permission settings
• Release title and description editing honors role-based permissions
• Document search within releases properly filters based on user permissions
• Archive, unarchive, and delete operations now respect user permission levels

Added additional Markdown shortcuts in Portable Text Editor:

**text** or __text__ for bold (maps to 'strong' decorator) *text* or _text_ for italic (maps to 'em' decorator)

The Portable Text editor now supports a new modal option with a type and width property. This means you can customize the size of annotation popovers (a much requested feature).

type: 'block',
  marks: {
    annotations: [
      {
        type: 'object',
        name: 'link',
        title: 'Link',
        options: {
          // 👇👇👇
          modal: {
            type: 'popover',
            width: 'medium' // the default is "small"

    ],
  },
