IMPROVEMENT

Just in time for summer, Pitch is getting a
makeover.

💅 Over the next few weeks,

you'll see several improvements.

First up: presentation cards. We've
increased the contrast between the title
and background for better legibility.
We've also slightly reduced the font size
your snazzy (and sometimes extra long)
presentation titles.

DISTANCES

Consistent label positioning for charts
Depending on the font size, chart category labels would occasionally overlap with or be very far away from a chart.
Now, no matter the size, labels will always be the same distance away.

IMPROVEMENTS

📈 Updated layout of chart-editing controls in the right-hand panel.

We've rearranged the order of chart-editing options in the right-hand panel to make switching
between chart types smoother. Now, Chart type will always be the rst option after the data
editor.

BUG FIXES

📂 Opening Shared with me folder won't affect workspace folders.

In some cases, opening the Shared with me folder would cause all workspace folders to disappear.
In other cases, the folders would be replaced with ones from a user's other shared workspace.
Either way, not good! We've xed the issue so that opening your shared folder does nothing, zilch,
nada to your workspace folders.

🥧 Disabled backgrounds for pie charts.

A while ago, we removed background colors for pie charts. However, you could still add one by
creating a bar or line chart, setting a background, and then turning it into a pie chart. We're
making our stance on background colors in pie charts (read: they don't look good) clear and
eliminating this workaround.

📈 Chart category options won't disappear from right-hand panel.

If you turned Show categories off for a line chart or bar chart and then turned it into a pie chart,
all category options would disappear. While we absolutely, 100% want to remove your ability to
add backgrounds to pie charts, we still think you should be able to show or hide category labels.

BUG FIXES

📐 Chart data tables will resize with the app.

When you resize Pitch, the editor will adjust accordingly. Before, when the chart data editor was
open, the slide and data table would no longer resize with the app. Now it does.

💨Sync errors will disappear once the app has successfully synced.

Now, after your presentation changes have synced, any sync alerts will go away so you can focus
on your work.
Typing in text blocks should feel faster.
We've made some technical changes that will shave off a few valuable milliseconds when editing
text.

🗂 Logging out of Pitch in one tab will log you out in all other tabs.

Before, if you logged out of Pitch in one tab, you could continue working on presentations in
other tabs, which led to syncing issues. Now, if you log out once, we'll log you out across all other
browser tabs to avoid any issues.

BUG FIXES

🎛 Chart controls will show the correct font size.

While editing a chart, you can click on any of the text to open up text controls. Before, the font
size would always display 40, no matter what the reality was. Now, the font size will show the
actual font size instead. Revolutionary.

🚪 Leaving a workspace will redirect you to your

rst shared workspace.

Last week, if you left a shared workspace, we'd redirect you to the What's New screen. From now
on, we'll take you to the rst shared workspace you're a member of.

🚨 Pitch will show an error message if we can't save your changes.

We've improved how we handle events like high energy consumption, low disk space, and running
Pitch while the computer is in sleep mode. If Pitch is in a state where it can't save your changes, we
won't allow you to make any. Instead, we'll display an error message and prompt you to refresh
the app.

BUG FIXES

🖼Templates saved from the editor will publish correctly.

Templates created in and saved from the editor didn't publish correctly and, as a result, couldn't
be selected via the template picker. Now, whenever you save a template, it should appear in
your Templates folder and immediately be available from the template picker.

📁Workspace folders can be managed while Shared with me folder is open.

Previously, if the Shared with me folder was open, you couldn't create, rename, or delete
workspace folders. Now you can manage workspace folders no matter what you're doing in the
dashboard.
