+### `volto-slate` Cypress helpers moved to its own module
+
+There were some Cypress helpers for `volto-slate` along with the other definitions of Cypress commands.
+The Cypress command definitions are intended to be loaded only once, whereas the helpers can be imported any number of times.
+Therefore, we moved the helpers to its own module:
+
+```js
+import { slateBeforeEach } from '@plone/volto/cypress/support/commands';
+```
+
+becomes:
+
+```js
+import { slateBeforeEach } from '@plone/volto/cypress/support/helpers';
+```
