New Features 🆕

The following new features were released to enhance your experience:

  • Guidelines: Target visibility on content blocks.
    We've improved the targeting feature, a critical tool for many of our customers. Now, each content block and the new sections (in beta) display an indicator, giving editors a quick overview of where targets have been set. In the next iteration, you'll be able to click on the indicator to directly open the targets in the block sidebar, making it even easier to manage and review your settings.
  • Guidelines: Design Settings - backend negative values.
    We've extended a feature in the design settings, allowing users to define negative values for letter spacing in individual type styles. Previously, only positive values were possible.
  • Libraries: Sorting of asset results for filters.
    If a user has only selected filters, the asset sorting will remain unchanged. It will only change to "best match" relevance sorting if a query is entered on a library page search.
