+### Actionbar S2 Migration
+
+Action bar now has some updated colors, corner radius, and icons. There's a new look to the default and emphasized variants and each have a custom touch in both light and dark themes.
+
+The emphasized has changed from an `accent` background color to a `neutral` background color.
