Layer Grouping, Scale Parameter, Edit Template via API and more š
Hey all!
Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions youāve been posting in out feedback board in the last weeks! It really helps us focusing on what you guys need the most and what will be more impactful for your workflow and automations.
Hereās a quick roundup on all the recent new features and fixes weāve been working on and are now released in the app and API:
ā¢ Layer Grouping
You can now group multiple layers together for better formatting and designing your templates.
Just select multiple elements (with Shift + Click) and click on the Group button or use the Ctrl/Cmd + G keyboard shortcut.
ā¢ Show distance between elements while moving
When you drag or move elements in the editor, if you hold the Option key, youāll now see live distance markers so you can align and space things more precisely.
ā¢ Edit Template endpoint in the API
Added a new endpoint so you can programmatically edit templates (not just create/render).
You can send a payload similar to the one to generate a render to modify the template structure. You can find more here in the docs.
ā¢ New params in the API Render endpoints
You can now pass line_height and letter_spacing to specify line-height and letter-spacing for text layers.
And you can now scale up or down the final render dimensions by using the scale parameter and control the image output size/scale.
You can check it here in the docs.
ā¢ Search by template tags on Dashboard
On the dashboard we added a tagābased search so you can filter and find templates by your custom tags that we used to organize your templates.
ā¢ Rename template directly from the Template tile
No need to open the editor ā you can now rename a template straight from its tile in the dashboard UI by just clicking the template name and start typing.
Shapes with dashed and dotted borders
In the editor youāll now find shape layers that support dashed and dotted border styles (in addition to solid). You can also set different dash widths and spacing.
Other Improvements & Fixes
General performance and stability improvements across the editor and APIs
UI tweaks for smoother workflow in multi-element editing
Minor bug fixes (e.g., correct handling of custom asset URLs, improved typo corrections in dashboard)
Add external ID filter param to list template clones via API
Thatās it for this update.
Hope these enhancements make your workflow better!
Until the next one,
Pedro
