All releases

v2.56.014 August 2026

More control over tables and images

This release makes tables far more flexible, from cell media and formatting to resizing, transposing, and pasting. Images are easier to replace, crop, and place, while Template Studio and text editing gain more predictable controls.

Highlights

  • Richer table editing

    Add, select, resize, and align icons or logos directly inside table cells. Tables also gain easier resizing, transposing, border painting, and formatting transfer.

  • Better image workflow

    Replace images in place, paste them where your pointer is, and crop them into circles. New uploads appear immediately and stay put while they finish uploading.

  • Clearer text controls

    Insert template-styled text roles from the editor, edit footers directly on slides, and turn text autofit on or off.

  • More flexible templates

    Template Studio now offers more reliable layout guides, safer placeholder positioning, and controls for page numbers and copyright notices.
