2 Improvements, 6 Bug Fixes

Small improvements with big impact

Improvement

Support for mailto: links
Links in Pitch are getting better! Now you can
hyperlink email addresses or other relevant
blocks with mailto: links, so viewers can go
straight from a presentation to their email client.
Here's how you can use inline text editing to add
mailto: links:
• Highlight the piece of text you'd like to hyperlink
• Select the link icon on the inline editor
• Type mailto: followed by the email you'd like to add;
for instance: [mailto:otto@pitch.com](mailto:otto@pitch.com).

Improvement

Smart(er) Tidying
We’re continuing to tweak the algorithm for
Smart Tidying so that it’s easier and more
predictable to use.
With this latest enhancement, Smart Tidying will
favor left and top alignment for text blocks. As a
reminder, here is how to use Smart Tidying:
• Select multiple overlapping blocks of the same type
• Click on the wand icon in the bottom left-hand corner
of the selection area
• Ta-da!

Bug Fixes

🖼 Canvas border will always be visible — even with overlapping blocks.

Previously, if you moved a block (like text or a shape) over the canvas, the
border of the canvas would disappear. Now the border will remain visible so
that you always know if content is going off canvas.

⤴ Rotate multiple blocks at once.

With this x, you can select multiple blocks and use the rotation options in the
right-hand panel to rotate them at the same time.

⤵ Pressing

Enter in the rotation input won't add text to your block .

You can use a handler to adjust the rotation of blocks, or you can manually
input the desired degree of rotation. For a while, typing in a number and
pressing Enter would then type "Enter" on the selected block. We've xed
this, so you can safely rotate to your heart's content.

Bug Fixes

🔒 Denying Google access permissions will not crash the app.

This x affects new users. Last week we rolled out a change to our Google
signup ow that would ask users to grant permissions. Denying access would
crash the app. Now, denying access will redirect you to the login screen.

🎨 Border colors of shapes will show up as suggestions in the color picker.

This x is pretty straightforward. Your color picker includes suggestions based
on recently used colors. Those suggestions now include border colors of
current shapes. Enjoy!

📐 Adjust the aspect ratio of multiple blocks at once.

You can now select multiple blocks and adjust the aspect ratio in the righthand panel — just expand the Layout section to view and change these
options.
