🎉 Three 'New' Screens!
In an effort to reduce the effect of choice overload on our users, we’ve consolidated a number of similar screen types into 3 new screens:
- Tap to reveal
- Process
- Springy list
Tap to reveal screen
The Tap to reveal screen encourages your learners to interact with the screen to discover more information about a topic by tapping buttons that can be customized using images, colors and labels.
5 screens have been merged to create the new Tap to reveal screen; Image click, Showcase, Image+, Icon hover, and Side slide.
If you’ve used these screens before, you would have noticed how similar they were. The only difference between them being the interactions, and the layout options available for each. All of them allowed a title, an image, and a description, and in each case the learner needed to ‘Tap to reveal’ the description.
Because of these similarities, we were able to combine them into a single screen type that offered additional layout options. Below is a diagram that demonstrates how they have been combined.
What happens to my existing screens?
All of your existing screens will appear exactly as they had prior to this release. The only noticeable differences will be inside the course creator. The first difference is that they will all be called Tap to reveal screens. The second is related to the Side slide screen. As the new screen type doesn’t allow for circular images, the side slide screen will appear as a legacy version that will remain in that state until it has been edited. Once it has been edited, it will be converted to the new format.
Process screen
The Process screen allows you to display images and descriptions in a gallery format. Good for breaking down a process into smaller steps.
2 screens have been merged to create the Process screen; Steps and Flowchart.
Again, if you’ve used these screens you would have noticed how similar they were. In light of this, it made perfect sense to combine both screens to create a new supercharged screen type that combined all of the layout options of the two former screens. Below is a diagram that demonstrates how they have been combined.
What happens to my existing screens?
Your existing screens appear exactly as they had prior to this release. The only noticeable difference will be inside the course creator, where they will now be labelled Process screens.
Springy list screen
The Springy list screen allows you to display a list of labels that when clicked will reveal more information. Good for things like listing your company values with a short description.
As you may already be aware, the Springy list screen is in fact an existing screen. In this case, we’ve merged the Springy list screen and Text pop screens into a new screen with the same name. These 2 screens provided virtually the same functionality, the key difference being that Text pop allowed you to add an image to the button background.
What happens to my existing screens?
Again, both the Springy list and Text pop screens will appear exactly as they did prior to this release, the main difference being the change of name. If you had created Text pop screens that had labels set to appear on hover, or to appear in front of the image, these screens will appear as legacy screens that will remain in that state until it they have been edited. Once it has been edited, they will be converted to the new format.
