This update primarily focuses on Canvas improvements and overall bug fixes within the app.
We've made a lot of improvements to Canvas since its initial release.
Arranging cards on your canvas is now easier than ever. You can now resize multiple cards at once by dragging from the selection box. You can also nudge selected cards in any direction by pressing the arrow keys.
Once you have your cards arranged exactly how you like them, you can use the new readonly mode to lock your canvas content in place. While in readonly mode, a canvas and its contents cannot be modified.
There is now a settings page for Canvas with the following configuration options:
Ctrl/Command + Drag
.Content from text cards will now appear as search results in the global search view.
Canvas groups can now have a background image associated with them. With a group selected, press the new "set background" button and choose an image from your vault.
The image can be set to cover the entire group or be used as a repeating pattern.
The new "Jump to group" command allows you to search for groups in your open Canvas by name. Selecting a group will quickly pan the viewport to that group. Some other notable improvements to Canvas:
Similarly to the "Narrow to heading..." feature, there is now a "narrow to block" menu item for file cards in the Canvas. Just right-click on a file card and choose "Narrow to block..." to see a list of all blocks in the given file. Selecting a block from the list will change the card to only display the contents of that block.
