Improvements 🛠️

This week, we crushed these bugs to give you a better experience:

• Digital & Print Templates: InDesign - We fixed an issue with specific fonts not being rendered correctly in the download.

• Digital & Print Templates: InDesign - We added minimum height or width support in auto-sizing text fields. Existing templates must be re-imported to take this improvement into account.

• Digital & Print Templates: We fixed an issue that images weren't cropped correctly in download when "auto-sizing" settings had been applied to the images somewhen in the past.

• Libraries: Tags with special characters can now be created and searched correctly.

• Libraries: Backend viewers with edit permission restricted can now see the custom metadata.

• Libraries: We improved the performance of the document library guidelines.

New features 🆕


The following new features were released to enhance your experience:

• Digital & Print Templates: Fit images within frames
  The Fit option allows you to fit an image in its original ratio into a specified image frame. This especially (but not only) opens up use cases for logos of different sizes and ratios, which can now fit into specific image frames. All our image options are described in our help article.

• Digital & Print Template: Personal project first entry in new publications
  We have changed the default behavior when creating publications from guidelines: now, the first project in the list of available projects is always the personal project.

Improvements 🛠️

This week, we crushed these bugs to give you a better experience:

• Guidelines: We fixed the issue with the attachment content block, where deleting one of the attachments from the multiple attachments in the block would corrupt the block settings format. This would make the block display empty, and attachments would be unavailable for download.

• Libraries: We fixed an issue that appeared short-term on the library view, where the asset expiration date was not respected, and expired assets would be displayed by default and in search results on the frontend view of the library.

• Platform: We fixed an issue with the access request approval process, where approving access requests on admin view would not take effect, and users who requested access still won't see the requested guidelines.

• Platform: We fixed the issue where guidelines' content targeted to specific target groups was unavailable to them. Users who should have been able to access the content had a "403 access denied" message instead.

• Platform: We fixed an issue with 2FA activation, where users would be redirected to the same 2FA activation screen after they filled in the activation code. That blocked users off from their accounts and stuck them on 2FA activation screens.

Hi there!

With our new Required Metadata capabilities, it's now much easier to search and find relevant data. 🙌

Findability refers to how simple it's to locate an asset when you (or your end users) need it. How much does it cost to find a specific resource? How much time do your users spend to retrieve assets? Employees can browse and view their digital resources more easily if meta information is implemented correctly.

Read more about our Required Metadata in this help article.
