We have made a few updates recently to improve the user experience.

You can now easily copy and paste content from one slide to another. If you have two slide editor tabs or windows open you can copy and paste an element in one of two ways. You can access copy and paste functions from the right-click menu or you can use the copy and paste buttons on the Toolbar.

Right-click Menu

To prepare for an expansion of our app offerings, we have rearranged the navigation menu. Instead of a long scrollable navigation menu, you will now see apps grouped under the App Icon. The apps are now displayed in a secondary menu and grouped by function. We know change is hard so there is a link at the bottom of the secondary menu, "Take me back to the old editor" which you can use if now is not the right time to get used to this navigation change.

👋 We are looking for feedback for what apps you would like to see added, so please reach out to our support team with app suggestions. 🙏

Many users and businesses now have multiple social media accounts to manage their brand's online presence, therefore you can now link multiple Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts in MangoSigns.

The social media apps and the ability to connect them can now be found in the new MangoSigns Apps navigation menu.
