We’ve made some significant improvements to the Slideshow screen addressing much of the feedback we've received from our amazing users over the last 12 months. 

What's changed?

Image controls

New image controls that allow you to make images fit or fill the allocated space for images. You can fine-tune the fitting even further with the ability to reposition the image to appear exactly as you want it. 

Captions and description

You asked, we listened! Gone is the compulsory black background for image titles and descriptions. This has been replaced with a standard white background for text, with the ability to hide both the Title and Description if needed. 

The description text area now grows infinitely, instead of being contained, allowing you to add as much text as you like. In light of this we were able to include the addition of our rich text editor for descriptions. 

Navigation

The image thumbnails have been replaced with our standard navigation indicators with image previews that appear when you hover over each item. 

This change has also allowed us to include our SmartColor™ technology that uses your workspace theme color to create the perfect colour scheme!

Progress markers

One of the most significant changes to this screen is the introduction of progress markers. If you have Progress markers switched on for your workspace, your learners will now be forced to view every image in order for the course to be marked as complete.  

Image thumbnails added to the reorder list

To help reorder your slides we have now added images to the reorder list.
