New
Multi-Language & Dynamic Categories
- The Explore page now speaks 10 languages. It picks up your browser language automatically.

- The chat panel stays closed when you switch views — no more pop-ups when you're not chatting.
Access & Sharing
Improved
Discord & Atom Covers
- A Discord invite now lives in your profile dropdown — click to join the community any time.
- Discord is tucked away from the main studio nav so it stays out of your way.

Collaboration
New

- Turn boundaries stay intact through followup rounds, so your conversation stays neatly structured.

- Switch between gallery and canvas without reloading. Your content stays right where it is.
- The portal remembers your settings. Come back later and you'll pick up exactly where you left off.

- Guests land in gallery view with simpler controls and no portal option when it's not set up.
Inline Styling
New
Create & Remix Placeholders
- We redesigned the placeholder cards for Create and Remix so it's clearer whether you're making something new or remixing existing work.

- The recipe panel closes on its own once you've set the remix context.
- Placeholder cards got a visual refresh with better spacing and smoother state changes.
Improved
Inline Composer

Guided Tour
Improved
Tour Persistence
- Once you've walked through the studio tour, you won't see it again on your next visit.
Adventures
New
Character Context
- Adventure mode now pulls in character profiles. The agent tells richer, more coherent stories because it knows who's who.
Billing & Access
Improved
Invite Codes
- Redeem codes are now called invite codes — a clearer label for sharing.
- You can now hide the skip button with an environment flag, keeping access invite-only when you need to.
- The redeem button renders reliably across all studio skins.
Under the Hood
Improved
Auth & Infrastructure
- Logto access tokens now resolve at the edge, making auth faster and more reliable.

Fixes
Fixed
Canvas & UI

Week 24
Canvas v2
New
Board-Based Canvas
- We redesigned the canvas as a board. Cards now sit in sections with even spacing and clean rows.
- Compact mode is on by default. Cards overlap slightly for a denser, more atmospheric board.
- New cards always land next to existing ones — no more overlapping, sorted in the order you created them.
- Your board syncs across devices. A quick one-time migration runs the first time you open it.
New
Selection Tool & Multi-Select
- Drag to marquee-select several cards at once.
- Clicking a card still opens it. Dragging draws a selection box instead.
- You can add selected cards to chat, flip them, or delete them together.
- A toolbar appears above your selection with quick actions.
New
Canvas Card Interactions
- Right-click any card to flip it, delete it, add it to chat, or sort the board.
- A hover menu gives you quick-access buttons on every card.
- Press Cmd+D to remove the card under your cursor.
- Copy and paste cards anywhere on the canvas. Pasted cards keep their cover image without regenerating.
- Drag atoms and works from the file tree straight onto the canvas.
Imports & Sharing
New
External Work Import
- Import shared works from other worlds as reference cards on your board.
- Imported works open in a full detail view with their content and cover.
- Share any work publicly with a link.
- Trending works now appear on the Discover tab with better filtering.
Narrating Mode
New
Automated Camera & Story Framing
- The camera now frames each section's title and description as your story unfolds.

- Custom sections get their own camera slot and framing.
- We removed the cap — sections can hold as many cards as you need.
UI System
Improved
Studio Interface
- The top bar has a solid dark background, full width, and aligned toolbar buttons.
- The left toolbar is now a single, unified pill with Create and Recipe Import.
- Card detail panels sit under the top bar so nothing gets hidden.
- You can drag the chat panel resize grip to make it bigger or smaller.
- The agent settings dialog got a visual refresh with clearer guidance.
Improved
Navigation & Controls
- Hold Space and scroll to zoom the canvas, anchored to your cursor — like Figma.
- Hold Space and drag to pan. The hand tool icon lights up while you hold it.
- The hand tool is now the default for new worlds.
- WASD and arrow keys pass through to iframe works so interactive content gets your keyboard input.
Fixes
Fixed
Reliability & Polish
- Cards generated in the same session no longer overlap.
- Section titles stay put when the board layout updates.
- Stale cover jobs now reset automatically and retry.
- Auth failures show a proper redirect instead of a blank 500 page.
- Shared works load with a placeholder while data streams in.
- Card images refresh on their own after regeneration.
