Test Your Setup πŸ§ͺπŸ“²

These awesome new features, for the foreseeable future, will only be available on iOS (iPhone &Β iPad) and may come to Windows devices as well later on.

    ‍
  • UI Improvements: Fixed issues with group photo labels, brought back borders for selected images, and added workflow icons in event dropdowns for more Event Selection clarity.

‍

UI Enhancements 🎨

We’ve made numerous UI improvements to make your experience more enjoyable:

‍

  • Tap-A-Face UI: Tap-A-Faces are now cyan instead of yellow, and will zoom/scale based on image scroll/zoom for a more intuitive and smooth experience.
    ‍
  • Dark Mode Tweaks: Dark dropdowns, input fields, and more cyan text for a sleek look.
    ‍
  • Refined Controls: Checkmark & X symbols instead of yes/no for service indicators, updated image gallery UI, and improved secondary/cancel buttons.
    ‍
  • Improved Email Input: Email inputs now include space, dot, and @ on the keyboard for easier entry when collecting email addresses via the app.

Canon Wireless Connectivity Unveiled! πŸ“·

‍

Swift Event Swaps! πŸ”„

‍

Got multiple NowCandid Events? We've got you! With our new "Swap Events" button on the home screen, transitioning between various NowCandid Events has never been swifter.

‍

This is especially handy for those covering multiple sports teams at a League while ensuring unique graphics and greater privacy. Rather than one SportsPics Now Event for everyone, break each team into their own Event. Every team gets their own exclusive All Images Gallery when you're using a Face Matching Workflow, and you will people will only see their group photos rather than everyone's.

‍

A Closer Look: Zoom & Pan πŸ”

‍

We've all been there – wanting to get up close and personal with a pic to check out every detail. Now you can! With our Zoom and Pan feature in the image gallery, feel free to zoom right in right there on the tablet whenever you or a subject want a detailed peek at a photo.

‍

Crystal Clear Checkbox βœ…

‍

We're all about clarity! So, we've revamped that SD checkbox text you see when you're logging in. It now reads as "Upload all images on SD card."

‍

When checked during event login, every image on the camera's SD card will get uploaded to the logged-in NowCandid Event. Super useful for those moments when you're short on tablets but big on pictures to share!

‍

And A Little Extra... πŸ”§

‍

Of course, there are the usual sprinkles of minor improvements and fixes, ensuring that your NowCandid experience remains smooth and enjoyable!

‍

And there you have it!

‍

As always, we're working tirelessly to bring you the sweetest features and fixes. 🍭

‍

Until next time, keep snapping and enjoy the new updates!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
