- **APIv4 - Add export action for managed entities
  ([22014](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/22014))**

  Adds a new APIv4 export action which generates an exportable array suitable
  for use in a .mgd.php file.

- **APIv4 - Opt-in more ManagedEntity types
  ([22068](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/22068))**

  entities.

- **SearchKit - Animated loading skeleton

  ([21986](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21986))**

  "revert" button for packaged searches.

  ([21992](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/21992))**

  ([22114](https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/22114))**

  Makes a few improvements to the main SearchKit screen (the tabbed listing of
  Saved Searches) specifically:

  - More responsive switching between tabs
  - Bookmarkable urls for each tab
  - Fixes the "modified" column for packaged searches, only showing a value if
    the packaged version has been overridden

  status checks first.
