“Current Year” Dynamic Field added to the Editor
If you often create evergreen content, you’re likely familiar with our Dynamic Field feature – it lets you update text boxes across multiple projects from one place, saving you hours of work. In our latest release, we’ve added a new Dynamic Field: Current Year. This one doesn’t need any manual updates – it automatically refreshes when the year changes. No more combing through dozens of projects to update the date come January 1st – Dynamic Fields has you covered. One less thing to put on your to-do list every new year!
“Mailto” link now supported in link functionality
When adding a link to text and selecting URL -> Website, you can now enter a full “mailto” link. This allows you to predesign an email withthat includes a CC address, subject line, and body text, saving your users time and guiding their responses.
Here’s an example of a mailto link:
mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=Feedback&body=Hi%20team%2C%0AI%20wanted%20to%20share%20some%20feedback...
New text boxes inherit the previously used font
When you change the font in your project, any new text boxes you add (from Basics -> Header & Text, or using the “T” hotkey or “/” Quick Search) will automatically use that same font. If you switch to a different font later, all newly added text boxes will follow suit. These settings reset with each new project.
More Improvements:
- When resizing shapes and images, the cursor icon will now stay on the edge of the element you’re resizing, giving you a better sense of the size you’re aiming for.
