What’s New: May 2020

Posted on May 20, 2020

New project folders, live chat, sticky containers, device stencil category, insert template button, and ability to click through grouped objects.

New Features:

  • Project Folders help teams stay organized by making it easy to find relevant work – and ensure important documentation isn’t lost in the stream of workflow.

    • Create and nest both projects and folders from the Dashboard’s Projects Page.
  • Moqups Live Chat lets your team have essential conversations without ever leaving your project. Features include:

    • Persistent conversation history for quick catch-up

    • Show or hide from the Workspace dropdown

  • Our Sticky Container Stencil lets you organize the content of your diagrams, frameworks and boards into swimlanes and logically-related groups:

    • Once grouped, the diagram shapes move together, and their connectors remain attached.

    • You can turn stickiness on and off, and change the container orientation

  • Enter Group on Click lets you quickly click through to objects in groups:

    • Cmd/Ctrl + Click selects a grouped object immediately

    • Enabling ‘Enter group on click’ in the Format Panel makes all elements within a group selectable with a click.

  • The Insert Template button, right above the Stencils tab at the top of the left sidebar, lets you:

    • Browse our wide variety of categorized, pre-made templates

    • Insert single or multi-page templates directly into your project

  • New Devices category in the Stencils Library includes desktop, phone, tablet and Apple watch frames.

Improvements:

  • Font Dropdown improvements in the Format Panel:

    • With the dropdown closed, the up/down arrow keys let you cycle through the font list and see the font changes simultaneously.

    • With the dropdown open, the arrow keys cycle through the list, but the object’s font doesn’t change until you hit Enter/Return.

    • Alt/Option + Up/Down Arrow keys let you jump right to the top or bottom of the font list.

    • When you select a text object on the page that contains a single font, the font list automatically scrolls to display that font.

  • New Keyboard Shortcuts:

    • A variety of Zoom options

    • Ctrl/Cmd when dragging from the Image Library creates a new page for that asset.

  • Quick Draw toolkit:

    • Selecting the Hotspot tool automatically opens the Interactions panel.

    • When you select the Text tool, you can now just click and type.

    • Text objects added from the toolkit now display Fill & Stroke options in the Format Panel

  • Chart & Graph stencils now let you adjust stroke width for both grid and axis.

  • The new Refresh button in both the Images and Templates libraries refreshes the library, when collaborating, without page reload.

  • Template categories are now displayed on the New From Template, Insert Template, and Welcome screens.

  • On Free accounts, the Share With Others window now has an Invite Team Members button.

  • The Support button in the lower-left corner of the Editor now has a ‘Chat with us’ option.

  • The initial sign-up and onboarding flow now includes an opportunity to invite team members.

  • Flowchart Diagrams stencils now have color-presets to help distinguish related elements.

Bug Fixes:

  • Various fixes on text editing.

  • The Fill Color in the Format Panel now correctly displays a ‘?’ when selecting a group of objects with varying colors.

  • Non-editable stencils like the Banner and Spec Tools now properly display Font Family, Weight and Color in the Format Panel.
