Video Header Support
WordPress 4.7 brings video header support for themes. Many free and premium themes were already allowing users to add full screen videos. The video header feature will make it easier for theme developers to integrate it with live preview.
Starter Content Support for Themes
WordPress 4.7 brings a facility to import starter content when they purchased a theme. The purpose of this content is to immediately setup a site for users with dummy content, which they can later edit to meet their own needs.
PDF Previews
WordPress 4.7 generates thumbnail previews for PDF files and displays them in media library. Previously, when a PDF document added WordPress showed a generic document icon. Users had to use different PDF plugins for thumbnail previews.
