Contextual menu on canvas

Included in the redesign of the editor (read above), we decided that it was time to make our contextual menu available everywhere, and not only at specific places (like before). We know that it will help many new users to quickly find their way in Ludus.

 

 

Guidelines on resize

Good news! We added snapping and guidelines when you resize an object (it used to be only available when moving an object).

 

Single object alignment

You have now options to align single objects relative to the canvas (it used to be possible only for selections of multiple objects).

Improved tab navigation

From the dashboard, you can decide to Cmd+click on a presentation to open it in a new tab. This will allow you to have multiple instance of the editor open at the same time, something that was almost impossible to achieve before.
