3D models show a cube in your Library

3D models have their own icon. A 3D model in your Library, such as a GLB, a GLTF or a scan, now shows a cube on its tile with the label 3D, the same cube that marks the 3D filter and sits beside the file name. Before, these files showed the plain document icon labelled FILE, so a model looked like any other file you had not opened yet.

Edit a deck together without overwriting each other

Teammates' changes appear as they save. When several people work in the same deck, each person's changes show up in everyone else's deck within a moment of being saved, with no refresh. Two people can work on the same slide, and even on the same widget, and both changes are kept. Only when two people change the same thing at the same moment does the later change win.

Undo is your own. Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac) undoes only your own edits, never a change a teammate made in the meantime, and your undo history stays intact when their changes arrive.

See where teammates are working. When a teammate has a widget selected, you see a thin outline in their colour around it, with their name, and the slide list shows whose initials are on each slide. There are no moving cursors. For a deck, the Team Access panel has a switch, Show where teammates are editing. Only the deck's managers can change it.

What a teammate is working on stays theirs. If a teammate is already typing in a text box or a text flow, a double-click tells you who it is and leaves that box to them until they have finished. A widget a teammate has selected is theirs while they are working on it: clicking it tells you who has it and leaves your own selection as it was, and selecting several widgets at once, by dragging a box around them, Select all or Select similar, picks up the rest and tells you how many were left out and who has them. The widget frees up as soon as they select something else, close the deck or move to another browser tab, or after about a minute without a click or key press from them. Only selections of up to three widgets are held this way, so a large selection never holds up anyone else. All of this works while Show where teammates are editing is on.

Shortcuts that behave as expected. Ctrl+X (Cmd+X) cuts selected widgets. Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes on Windows as well as Ctrl+Y, and shortcuts keep working with Caps Lock on. Ctrl+S (Cmd+S) saves straight away and confirms it, instead of opening the browser's save dialog.

Resizing a text box re-wraps its words

Resizing a text box re-wraps its words. Text brought in from a PDF kept the PDF's own line breaks, so narrowing the box ran the words past its edge, and widening it never brought them back up. Now the first time you resize such a box, its words flow to the new width: narrow it and the lines wrap, widen it and they join up. Paragraphs and bulleted lists keep their breaks, and the box grows or shrinks to fit the text. Undo returns the original layout.

Align text to the top, centre or bottom of its box

Vertical alignment for text. Open a text box's settings and, under Text, pick Top, Center or Bottom to set where the words sit inside the box. Top puts the tops of the capitals on the box's top edge, and Bottom puts the last line's baseline on its bottom edge, so the words meet the edges rather than floating below the line spacing. The same choice carries through to presenting and sharing. Boxes you haven't aligned keep their current spacing, so existing decks look the same.

Type a value or go past a slider's end

Type the number you want. Double-click any number beside a slider in the text and shape settings — font size, line height, letter spacing, opacity and the rest — type a value, and press Enter. Escape cancels.

Go past the end of a slider. The small arrows beside each number nudge the value one step at a time, and holding one keeps going. A slider stretches to include the value you reach, so a 260 pt heading has a slider that reaches it, and it goes back to its usual length once the value is inside it again.

Undo a slider change in one step. Ctrl+Z now brings back the value a slider had before you moved it.

Select several layers at once

Pick several layers in the Layers list. Click a layer to select it, Shift-click another to select everything between them, and Ctrl-click (Cmd on a Mac) to add or remove one layer. Each layer also has a checkbox on its left for the same thing without a keyboard. Everything you select is outlined on the slide. Delete and the arrow keys act on the whole selection, and toolbar changes reach every selected widget of the same type.

Select everything that matches, across the whole deck

Select everything like this. Right-click a widget and open Select to pick every widget that shares something with it: the same text color, fill, outline, font or text style, the same type of widget, the same image or words, the same spot on the slide, or the same size. Each choice shows how many widgets it will pick before you click it. It looks across every slide unless you turn on Only this slide, and with nothing selected it offers the most common kinds of widget in the deck instead, such as all images or all circles.

Change them all at once. A selection that reaches other slides stays selected while you scroll, and those widgets show a selection outline where they sit. Delete and the arrow keys apply to every one of them, and toolbar changes to every one of the same type, so you can recolor every subheading, nudge the page number on every slide, or remove a repeated logo in one go. You can also ask the assistant to "make these white" and it edits the whole selection.

Text color reaches every word. Choosing a text color for a whole text box now also recolors words inside it that had a color of their own.

Delete from the right-click menu removes the whole selection. With several widgets selected, the menu's Delete now removes all of them, just like the Delete key.

Restyle a whole deck by asking the assistant

Restyle the whole deck by asking. The deck assistant can now use far more of the Styles panel, the Slide button and the widget toolbars. Ask it to set all the headings in another font and size, give several slides the same background or gradient, switch to another theme, or round the corners of every photo, and it does it in one go.

Colour changes reach everything. "Change all the gold to blue" now finds that colour wherever the deck uses it: single coloured words inside a block of text, shape fills and gradients, lines and borders, tables, callouts, image tints and slide backgrounds. A colour that was see-through stays see-through.

Faster, with less to scroll past. The assistant already knows what is on the slide you are looking at and which colours your deck uses, so most requests now take one step instead of several. While it works you see a short list of what it is doing, and afterwards a single line you can open for the details.

Edits no longer come back blank. Some styling edits used to fail with the assistant saying its request had arrived empty. Those edits now go through, and when one can't, the assistant is told what actually went wrong so it can correct it.

"Make a deck based on this PDF" writes a new deck. Attaching a PDF on the home page and asking for a deck based on it now opens Generate Deck with the PDF as its source material. To turn the PDF's own pages into editable slides, say so: "convert this PDF into slides" or "import this PDF".

Scroll all around a zoomed-in page

See the whole page when you zoom in. Zoom into a deck and you can now scroll all the way up to the top of the first page and all the way down to the bottom of the last one. Before, the editor stopped scrolling as soon as a page was centered, so the top of the first page and the bottom of the last page stayed out of reach once a page was taller than your window. There is now room above the first page and below the last, and the bottom one clears the toolbar so nothing sits underneath it.

Scroll sideways too. When a zoomed-in page is wider than your window, you can now move across it: swipe sideways on a trackpad, use a tilt wheel, or hold Shift and scroll. You can reach the left and right edges of the page, with a little room beside each. On a page that fits, nothing changes.

Works with a single page, and while you carry something. A deck with only one page scrolls when you zoom in, and you can scroll while dragging a widget, up, down or sideways, to carry it across a zoomed-in page. Zoom back out and the page eases back into view; at the normal zoom, scrolling works exactly as it always has.

Deleting frees storage, and everything you keep now counts

Deleting a file from your Library deletes it for good. It now removes the file itself, including its earlier versions and any video, and frees the storage it used. Before, some files, such as ones that came from a deck, a previs or a walkthrough, were only taken off the shelf and kept using space. If you saved the same file more than once, every copy goes together. You are warned first: the message says the file is removed from every deck, walkthrough, previs and project that uses it, and that it can't be recovered.

Everything you keep counts toward your storage. Your total now includes your decks' PDF exports, narration and comment videos, the images in your forms, the Studio's proposals and team documents, your portfolio, and older proposals. On the Storage page, forms, Studio files, your portfolio and older proposals each get a row of their own once they hold anything. Your total may be higher than before.

More uploads check your storage first. Importing a PDF, exporting one, adding form images, adding Studio documents and attaching files to a chat all check for room before they send anything, the same as other uploads. When there is no room you see the same message, and uploads pause.

A full Free workspace can't make new things until it has room. When a Free or Basic workspace is over its storage limit, it can't create decks, forms or walkthroughs, generate AI images or video, or upload. It can still open its work, download it and delete it, and deleting lifts the block straight away. You are asked to upgrade. AI image and video generation checks your storage before it starts, so you aren't charged for something that couldn't be saved. On paid plans, uploads and AI generation pause when storage is full, and you can still create files.
