I’m using the new Areas Card with the new update (looks great!), and leverage features for the lights, garage door, covers, switches but it doesn’t show the door lock.
Is this something that can be added or currently not in support.
The documentation says it supports features
which takes you to Features for dashboard cards - Home Assistant
This has the lock, and I’ve configured this item and proven it works, so why doesn’t it appear on the area card?

Came looking for this very thing after the area card update. hope locks get included in the future.
Looks like it’s a documentation miss, I confirmed via Github.

### Additional information
I have tried overriding the features configuration from area-controls to
features:
- type: lock-commands
I can see it accept the syntax (it's happy with lock-commands) but then nothing shows...
Hopefully it will come soon.
With the latest update it looks like area cards have added a lot of functionality I’m relying on Bubble Card for but I too am missing some flexibility in adding features.
On top I have the Bubble card and then below the default area card. I’m hoping that a light slider will be added in place of the button here. I’m working around that by having the area card navigation trigger a popup and then having a bubble card slider for the lights.
Also, within the card features It would be good if we can add regular icon buttons to trigger other actions (sub buttons in Bubble Card).
Other than that I’m really happy with this latest update to area cards.
