Update to quick connect visibility and notecard behavior
Based on your feedback, we’ve made a few changes to the quick connect function. The blue dots you used to see on all objects are now only visible on notecards and shapes/icons. Selecting the quick connect dot on notecards creates a new notecard without a connecting line, so you can add and organize notecards faster. Shapes continue to be connected by a line.

Included dimensions when cropping an image
We’ve added dimensions to image cropping, so you know the exact size of your edited image.
Learn more: Using the Image Cropping Feature
Enhanced font and font size selection
We’ve updated the font experience by visually indicating the selected font. The font selector tool now highlights the font in blue and includes a checkmark next to its name. This change has also been applied to the font size menu for a consistent user experience.

Update to text on notecards
We’ve modified the default text behavior in notecards. Now, the notecard text is left-aligned and top-justified. Users can still adjust the text alignment and justification in the notecard toolbar.
