0:00 hey guys this is Isaiah from your head
0:02 software today we're talking about
0:04 stacks 4 and the 5 new features we put
0:07 into it so before I jump into the
0:10 features I just want to say I'm gonna
0:13 break these videos up into five little
0:16 videos that way you can watch them one
0:20 at a time or even pick and choose just
0:22 the features you're interested in if you
0:25 do pick and choose make sure watch
0:26 feature number five that's all about
0:28 externals and that's the big new feature
0:30 of stacks 4 alright without further ado
0:34 this is feature number one and it's all
0:37 about multiple selection so let's check
0:39 that out so I have a document here with
0:45 yeah a few stacks in it now in previous
0:50 versions of stacks we could select
0:52 something and then maybe move it around
0:56 changes properties whatever we needed to
0:59 do in stacks 4 if we hold down the
1:03 command key or the shift key we can keep
1:06 selecting multiple stacks
1:09 once we have multiple stacks selected we
1:11 can do whatever we need to do with those
1:13 stacks so I'll just drag these down to
1:16 the bottom here and you can see all
1:19 three stacks come along for the ride
1:23 works the same with duplication I'll
1:26 hold down the option key and I'll
1:28 duplicate these stacks up into this
1:30 column let's move these three into the
1:37 middle column and I'll make one more
1:40 duplicate here to the third column so
1:45 it's really easy to move things around
1:48 copy things paste things delete things
1:53 all of those things that you do with
1:55 stacks work pretty well with multiple
1:57 selection but it gets a little bit
2:00 better than that let me select all nine
2:03 of these and I'll show you how that
2:06 works
2:09 not only can you move things around in
2:11 the layout but you can make changes to
2:14 their properties so I'll open up the
2:17 border here and we'll give these guys a
2:21 border well round the corners and I'll
2:24 make the borders blue right so we made
2:30 changes to nine stacks all at once even
2:35 though the stacks are of different type
2:39 in different places they're in three
2:42 different columns
2:43 it doesn't matter hierarchy or which
2:47 stack you're selecting I don't know how
2:50 long that would have taken in stacks
2:51 three but I bet it would have been
2:53 longer than that so there are some
2:59 limitations to this though let's talk
3:02 about that so I'm gonna drag in a two
3:07 column stack here and I'll make a copy
3:10 of it I'll populate it with some of
3:14 these text acts just by option dragging
3:20 now of course all stacks have the
3:25 built-in properties like border these
3:29 responsive buttons but some stacks have
3:32 some extra properties these two columns
3:35 dax have these extra properties called
3:40 split that lets us adjust the split of
3:45 the columns and the gutter width that
3:47 lets us choose how much space there is
3:49 between them now as long as I have only
3:57 two columns select only two column
4:00 stacks selected I can make changes to
4:03 these custom properties but if I select
4:09 say a two column stack and a text stack
4:15 then a tech stack doesn't have those
4:18 custom properties so they don't show up
4:21 in fact no custom properties will show
4:24 up if you have two different types of
4:27 stacks selected even if they share some
4:31 custom properties that might have the
4:32 same name there's a good chance that
4:35 those those properties underneath the
4:37 hood of that stack work a lot
4:39 differently so for safety custom
4:43 properties are only editable when you
4:45 have multiple of the same exact stack
4:48 selected
4:51 so if I select all of these markdown
4:54 stacks those have the custom property to
4:58 render the markdown or not and we can
5:01 make that change so long as all we have
5:04 selected is markdown stacks so that's a
5:10 quick look at some of the powers that
5:13 are there with multiple selection in
5:15 stacks 4 it gives us a huge amount of
5:20 power to not only move things around in
5:22 our layout copying and pasting and
5:26 duplicating but also to make changes to
5:30 the properties of those stacks so
5:35 definitely give that a try it's uh yeah
5:39 it makes Stax feel much more powerful
5:42 than ever before right that's a quick
5:46 look at multiple selection that was
5:48 featured number one stay tuned for
5:51 feature number two that's going to be
5:55 library group customization we've added
5:58 some features to help you customize your
6:01 libraries so go check that out in the
6:03 next video and make sure and check out
6:06 feature number five that is externals
6:09 and that's the big new one thanks for
6:13 watching"}]
