 - Fixed ID conflict in `or_filtering_transformator` that caused errors when multiple instances were used in the same Shiny app. Removed a `shinyBS::bsModal()` block with fixed, non-module-scoped IDs (dead code — preview is handled by `shiny::showModal()`), resolving duplicate element IDs across instances.
 - Added `updateOn = "blur"` to all `textInput` controls so that reactive updates are only triggered when the user leaves the field, reducing unnecessary re-renders while typing. Requires `shiny >= 1.11.0`.
 - Refactored `title_footer_decorator` not to overwrite the first row of the TABLE.ID column in the imported file. This change allows for importing files that have meaningful data in the first row.
+- Allowed to deselect the title in `title_footer_decorator`.
 - Added a button for CSV download for `tm_report_manager` module. #46
 
 # Version 0.0.3
 
-- Refactored the `merge_levels_transformator` to handle the predefined inputs to the transformator ([#25](https://github.com/phuse-org/uteals/pull/25)).
-- Added new `watermark_decorator` ([#23](https://github.com/phuse-org/uteals/pull/23)).
-- Changed the example to a working one in `create_rel_risk_transformator` ([#27](https://github.com/phuse-org/uteals/pull/27))
-- Changed the example to a working one in `ggplot_decorator` ([#28](https://github.com/phuse-org/uteals/pull/28))
