The core functionality remains consistent, delivering essential tools like @storybook/addon-docs for auto-generated documentation, @storybook/addon-actions for interactive event monitoring, @storybook/addon-controls for live prop editing, and utilities for visual enhancements such as @storybook/addon-measure, @storybook/addon-outline, @storybook/addon-backgrounds, and @storybook/addon-viewport. @storybook/addon-toolbars and @storybook/addon-highlight also further contribute to its utility.
