  • What’s new this week

    • Faster design generation: Designs now generate noticeably faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time editing.
    • Resize text boxes from the sides: Text boxes now have drag handles on the left and right edges. Drag them to set the width and control where your text wraps, so a headline can sit on one line, two, or three.
    • Reorder layers with a right click: Right-click any element and choose Bring to front or Send to back to move it in front of or behind other elements in your design.
