Improvements 🛠️

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

• Platform: We removed the maximum scale restriction to allow zooming and scaling also in the backend.

• Platform: We fixed an accessibility issue by adding an aria-label to the file uploader component to support it for screen readers.

• Digital & Print Templates: We have improved the behavior for groups and the layers within groups. It's now possible to select a group with modifiable elements by clicking on it - to jump to the layers below, you have to double-click. This behavior now applies to templates and publications.

• Digital & Print Templates: We have resolved an issue where text fields that auto-grow from the right were not positioned correctly on the editing canvas. The template needs to be re-imported to make this fix work.

• Media Library: The preview images in the media library frontend are no longer compressed.

• Libraries: We fixed a bug where it was not possible to add/update property options to an existing select/multi-select metadata property.

• Libraries: The filter flyout now behaves appropriately, even if it contains long tag names.

Improvements 🛠️

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

• Media Library: We resolved an issue where certain custom metadata properties were unable to be saved due to duplicated property options. We have now merged these duplicate options across all database instances.

• Media Library: Preview images in the media library frontend are no longer compressed.

• Libraries: When switching between different assets, now the correct asset name is going to be displayed.

• Digital & Print Templates: We have improved the behavior for groups and the layers within groups so that it's now possible to select a group with modifiable elements by clicking on it - to jump to the layers below, you have to double-click. This behavior now applies to templates and publications.

• Platform: Adjust the metadata and workflow settings cogwheel
  We removed the Power Bar cogwheel from the Guidelines and Newsletter sections. We removed the "Metadata" option from the settings menu in the Libraries section. In the Projects section, we moved the cogwheel to the bottom, below the templates, and adjusted the "Metadata" menu item to "Project Metadata" and the subtitle to "Manage your custom project metadata properties."

Improvements 🛠️

Improvements 🛠️

• Icon Library: We fixed an issue in the icon library pages where downloading all icons in a format different than svg was not possible if they shared the same name.

• Digital & Print Templates: The request approval checkbox state shows the correct information instead of unchecking itself.

• Document Library: We added an IDML extension to the allowed upload documents list so IDML files can be attached again.

• Projects: We have resolved an issue where project metadata remained unchanged despite user selection.

Improvements 🛠️

• 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.
