Pin feature

Pin objects to the canvas to immobilize them. Pinned objects can't be moved, but users can edit the content. 

To prevent inexperienced users from moving your content by accident, you lock it. But sometimes, this is too rigid, and you want that your attendees can add or edit the text on a sticky note, but you don't want to move it around. This is why we introduced the pin feature.

User Presence improvements

We have optimized the user presence feature that displays the mouse pointers of users in real-time on the board.

The feature is now much faster and more reliable. 

Based on feedback from many users, the user presence feature is on by default. This means you will see a user's mouse pointer when he enters the board. Disabling mouse pointers for single users or all users is an option. 

Availability: All subscriptions

Toolbar improvements

We re-arranged the upper right toolbar to reduce complexity and make less often used features available on a second level.  Additionally, there is now an explanatory text for every feature on the second level. 

The following changes have been implemented:

Left panel improvements

The left panel is primarily used to add media, upload documents and add shapes. 

Previously the left panel closed itself automatically when an object had been added to the canvas. We change this behavior so that the panel is now open until the user closes it. 

This improves the experience when users need to add multiple shapes. For example, users can add all the shapes needed without re-opening the panel when creating a diagram or designing a workflow.

Availability: All subscriptions
