What’s new

Shipped features and fixes, newest first.

Video uploads in a previs start moving right away

No more stuck at 0%. When you upload a video to a previs, a spinner now shows in the progress ring from the moment you drop the file, and the ring around it starts filling right away, reaching about halfway within a couple of seconds. The rest of the ring fills as the file goes up, so it no longer sits still and then jumps to the end. The percentage number is gone; the spinner tells you the upload is working.

Previs uploads now appear in your Library

Previs uploads land in your Library too. Videos, new versions of a video, still images, track overlay images and 3D models you upload into a previs now also appear in your Library. When the previs belongs to a project, they're filed under that project, so you can filter your Library to find them. From there you can place them in a deck without uploading them again. Files you uploaded to a previs before today are in your Library as well: the version each previs currently uses, kept at its original upload date.

Deleting from one place leaves the other. Deleting a clip from a previs keeps it in your Library, and removing a file from your Library leaves it in the previs.

Who has access opens on every project

The access panel opens again for files in a project. On some projects, opening the panel that shows who can see a file, and lets you invite people, failed with an error. It now opens on every project and lists the people who have access through the project.

One upgrade window for every plan limit

The same window, whatever you run into. Reaching a limit on your plan now opens one upgrade window every time. That covers a full storage space, the free plan's file limit, running out of AI credits, a team with every seat taken, and having all the workspaces your plan includes. It also covers a feature your plan doesn't include, such as Insights, Clients, password-protected share links, your logo on share links, or asking viewers for their name or email. The window says in one line what you reached. The rest is always the same, so it's clear there's one plan to upgrade, not a separate purchase for each thing.

What the next plan includes, and the way to it. The window lists what the next plan up includes, with its price, monthly or annually. Upgrade goes straight to checkout, and Compare plans shows Free, Pro and Max side by side. On Max, it offers a call about Enterprise instead.

Another way past, where there is one. A full storage space links to the Storage page so you can make room. Paying accounts that run out of credits can buy a credit pack from the same window, and paid teams with every seat taken are pointed to adding seats.

A heads-up before you hit the limit. Running low on AI credits and the end of your Pro trial bring up the same window. An upload that leaves your storage almost full shows a warning whose Upgrade button opens it too. On the Free and Basic plans, the storage page's button reads Upgrade to Pro.

Create workspace stays where it was. When you have every workspace your plan includes, Create workspace no longer disappears. It opens the upgrade window and says why.

Foveate Digital on a modular grid

Generated decks line up on a grid of squares. Decks made with Foveate Digital, the built-in layouts you get when you pick no template, now place every picture and block of text on a modular grid of square modules with clear gaps between them. It is twelve squares across and six down, so pictures and text sit apart with a full gap between them. The same layouts in the editor's Layouts menu follow it too.

Landscape pictures first. Since most architectural photography and renders are landscape, the picture beside your words is now a wide landscape frame across two-thirds of the slide, instead of a tall half-page. Covers, feature cards and statements with a picture use landscape frames as well, so less of your image is cropped away.

Narrower text columns. Headings and paragraphs beside a picture sit in a narrower column that is easier to read, centred beside the image. When a slide has fewer features, figures or steps than it has room for, they spread across whole grid columns, so the slide still lines up.

Numbered lists count correctly. A numbered list beside a picture now reads 01, 02, 03, where it could skip numbers before. Step markers on a plan with fewer steps also keep their size.

The same Library everywhere

Attaching from your Library works like the deck editor's Library. Wherever you choose files from your Library to attach, on Home, in a chat, in Generate Deck or in the image tools, you now get the same window the deck editor uses. It has tabs for Favorites, Shared, All Assets and Stock, with search, a type filter, sorting and a size control. Pick files from any tab and attach them all at once, including stock photos with their credit.

Evenly dimmed behind the Library in Generate Deck. Opening your Library from Generate Deck now dims the whole screen the same amount, sidebar included. Before, the page behind it went much darker than the sidebar.

Four new templates made by Foveate

Four new looks in Generate Deck. Under Made by Foveate in the Template menu, beside Foveate Digital and Foveate Proposal, you can now pick Foveate Letter, Foveate Noir, Foveate Blueprint or Foveate Atelier. Each has its own page size, grid and typefaces. Hover one in the menu to preview its pages.

Foveate Letter. A US Letter portrait proposal that reads like a written document: serif text with a running head, and your images placed within the text, with the writing continuing above, below or beside each one. Set in Libre Franklin and Source Serif Pro.

Foveate Noir. A 16:9 deck with white type on near-black, full-bleed images, and sweeping parallel lines. Every picture and block of text sits on a modular grid of squares, six across and four down, with clear gaps between them. Set in Syne and Manrope.

Foveate Blueprint. ARCH D drawing sheets in blueprint blue, with a double border, a faint drafting grid and a title block down the right edge. Your photos keep their true colours, edged with a fine line. Set in Space Grotesk and Space Mono.

Foveate Atelier. A3 landscape pages on light-brown kraft paper, with arched picture frames, flowing ornaments and double rules in a light Art Nouveau hand. Set in Cormorant and Alegreya Sans.

Layouts for every slide. Each template covers the cover, section openers, a statement, text with images, a full-page image, three features, key figures, a timeline and a closing page, so a generated deck uses the template from start to finish. If a row of three picture frames gets fewer of your images than it has frames, the empty ones keep a placeholder you can replace, so the row stays whole.

Foveate Proposal keeps its images on the grid. The cover and section pages now place their image across whole columns of the three-column grid, instead of splitting the page in half.

Text fills linked columns. On a template page whose columns are linked text frames, a slide's text now runs through those columns instead of being split into small labels.

Outline chat works on every outline

Asking for changes to an outline no longer fails. When you asked Generate Deck to change an outline, the request could stop with an error if a slide's text was written as one paragraph rather than as points. It now works for those slides too.

Foveate Digital and Foveate Proposal

Two templates made by Foveate, side by side. Generate Deck's Template menu now lists Foveate's own two starting points together under Made by Foveate. Foveate Digital is the built-in layouts and styles for decks shown on screen, and is what you get when you pick no template. Foveate Proposal, until now called Architecture Proposal, is the tabloid page made for text-heavy proposals with images.

Preview and remove attachments

Preview and remove what you attach. In Generate Deck, hover a picture, video or file under Attachments to see it larger and whole, with its name and a line on what it shows. The same hover brings up a remove button, so you can take anything out of the brief before you generate, including files you attached from the composer.
