Release highlights

Image Explorer improvements

We’ve already made improvements to our brand new Image Explorer component that we released to Create earlier this month (see last edition’s release notes if you missed the update).

Our first change improves how the component displays on smaller screens. Previously, whenever the Image Explorer was viewed on a mobile-sized display, it automatically switched to the Inline (Under) mode, no matter which mode was selected. This was originally intended to preserve screen space. 

Now, if Popup is selected, hotspots will open as pop-ups on all devices. Inline (Under) will now only override the other Inline display modes on mobile, rather than overriding all modes.

We also updated the placement logic for new hotspot items to prevent them from overlapping when adding multiple hotspots at once.

Improvements

  • The placement logic for hotspots in the Image Explorer has been improved to prevent newly created items from overlapping
  • Changed Image Explorer display behaviour when used on mobile: When Popup mode is chosen, it will now be retained when viewed on small devices, allowing the hotspots to open as popups. Inline (Under) will continue to override other modes on small devices to preserve screen space.

Fixes

  • The first opened hotspot item in the Image Explorer is now being marked as seen when opened
  • The image crop tool found in the Images menu in the editing toolbar is working as expected.
  • Removed unused Analytics button from the Project ellipsis menu in the Project Library

New features

Note

These release notes focus on major new features, improvements, and bug fixes that users will experience directly. Unlike a detailed changelog which lists all technical changes, these notes highlight the most important updates.

Our team is constantly working on essential background improvements, including backend systems, infrastructure, and preparation for future features. While this parallel work is not listed here, it is strategically planned and executed alongside the visible improvements described in these notes.
