Lock it up

NEW FEATURE

Lock position of blocks
Sometimes it's essential for content to
stay exactly where you put it. Our rst
iteration of locking does just that. You
can continue to edit it, but it can't be
moved while locked.
Just right-click on the item you want to
lock and select Lock position.

NEW FEATURE

Get help in one spot
We're putting more helpful resources at your ngertips. The
messenger icon in the bottom-right of the app has been
replaced with a new help button that includes:
• Live chat with our community support team
• A direct link to our help center
• A complete — and searchable — list of keyboard shortcuts

IMPROVEMENT

PDF exports are better and faster
This week we made several improvements to PDF exports.
• Exporting PDFs from Pitch is much faster.
• Viewing and navigating exported PDFs is also speedier.
• Image lters and effects will once again be included in
exports.

IMPROVEMENT

Comment thread previews show
participants
If there's a party happening in comment replies, you'll be able
to see exactly who's participating. Before expanding a thread to
view replies, you'll now see the avatar of any collaborator who
left a comment.

IMPROVEMENT

Real-time co-editing is
clearer
Now, when a collaborator edits a text
block, Pitch will indicate that they're
typing. Additionally, any changes they
make will now be visible, even while the
text block is selected. Don't worry, we
don't show every keystroke, so there's
still time to correct those pesky tpyos.

IMPROVEMENTS

📊 Chart labels now use consistent padding and margins.

Before, category and value axes were slightly different between chart types. So even if two charts
had the exact same width and height, labels would appear a bit off. Now everything should line up
perfectly.

🔍 Searching "new," "create," or "add" in the quick menu will pull up similar results.

Now, searching for any of the above terms will surface creation-related actions in the quick menu,
such as creating a presentation, template, or folder, or adding a comment.

BUG FIXES

🔤 Custom font weights and styles should work properly in the style builder.

We xed a few bugs in the style builder that affected custom fonts. Now, any supported font
weight should be available to work with in the style builder.

🔥 Charts won't overheat your CPU.

We thought we'd xed this for good a few weeks ago, but here goes again. Software, eh? When
viewing charts in the desktop app, Pitch shouldn't cause any CPU spikes.

✂ Cut keyboard shortcut works properly in Safari.

Before, typing in Command + X (would cut content, but wouldn't copy it to your clipboard. Now,
cut, copy, and paste should work as expected.
