From Adobe:
This release of Lightroom Classic CC rolls out new features and enhancements such as customization of Develop Panel, Add to Collection option in auto-import settings, Grid Snap option in book module, other enhancements, support for new cameras and lenses, and bug fixes.
Customize the order of Develop panels
With this release, you can now drag the Develop module panels in the order you would like to see them in.
To customize the Develop panel menu, do the following:
Add photos from a watched folder to a Collection with Auto Import
In the Auto Import settings, you can now use the Add To Collection option to directly pull photos from a watched folder into a specified Collection.
The Auto Import feature monitors a watched folder for photos and automatically imports them into the Collection you've set as the destination. After you set up a watched folder and specify a destination Collection in the auto-import settings, you can simply drag photos into the watched folder. Lightroom Classic CC automatically imports those photos in the specified Collection, allowing you to bypass the import window.
To add photos from a watched folder to a Collection, do the following:
Align photos in a Book layout with the Grid Snap guides
You can now easily align photos in a Book layout using the Grid Snap option in the Guides section. In Grid Snap, choose either Cells to align the cells of two photos with respect to each other, or Grid to align photos with the grid guide lines.
On moving the photo, it would snap into place based on the selected setting. By default, the Grid Snap option is set to Cells.

The non-compatible presets are shown as faded and in Italics style in the Presets panel in Develop.
To see all presets even if they are not compatible with the current photo, do the following:
