0:00 hey guys this is Isaiah from your head
0:03 software today we're talking about
0:04 stacks 4 and the 5 new features we've
0:07 put into it this is feature number 3 and
0:09 it's all about text editing let's have a
0:12 look so I have here a stacks page and
0:17 it's got a bunch of text acts on it and
0:19 we're just gonna edit some and see what
0:21 happens so just like in stacks 3 you
0:25 double clicked add in but now you get
0:28 this nice text edit pane and the text
0:31 edit pane has a bunch of the text edit
0:34 control buttons built into it and the
0:38 reason we did that is number one because
0:40 it just takes up less space on the
0:41 screen when you're not editing text you
0:45 don't have to look at those buttons so
0:48 if you have a smaller monitor that you
0:51 know that might be a really nice to have
0:55 the second reason is a little bit more
0:57 pragmatic though when you're editing
0:59 something that's not plain text like
1:02 this markdown stack the buttons
1:05 contextually know that you're editing
1:07 markdown and there's a little bit
1:11 they're a little bit different so in
1:14 this case if we select a run of text and
1:17 we click bold they automatically inject
1:20 the bold markdown and if we click inside
1:25 of a run of bold the bold button
1:29 highlights and if we click it the text
1:33 in that run auto selects the markdown is
1:36 removed and what well it does the right
1:39 thing you know for markdown or for the
1:42 context that you're working in so
1:46 those are some of the ways that the text
1:49 edit pane helps you out but there is one
1:54 new feature in in here along with all
1:58 the the other buttons and it's for cases
2:02 like this so we have here a text stack
2:07 that has a dark background and it has
2:13 some light text on it this lemon-yellow
2:15 title and when we go to edit that text
2:19 you may have noticed it just wasn't
2:21 readable you can sort of selecting kind
2:25 of see it but yeah in the past the only
2:28 way to edit this text would be to select
2:30 it and change the color temporarily edit
2:32 the text and then change it back but you
2:34 know that could be a real pain so we
2:37 added this contrast button in and it
2:39 allows you to quickly select swap the
2:42 the background color to a dark color
2:48 this also looks pretty good if you're if
2:50 you're working in dark mode and you like
2:53 to add a text on a dark background you
2:55 can just keep it this way the preference
2:57 will stick
3:01 and there's one more little change that
3:04 we made this isn't a new feature
3:07 actually if you're editing some text
3:11 normally you would click OK for those
3:15 those changes to go into your document
3:20 you could also just click anywhere else
3:22 now these ok and cancel buttons they've
3:26 always existed but they used to be up
3:27 here in the toolbar and a lot of people
3:29 didn't realize that they were associated
3:31 with the text editing that you were
3:32 doing so we've put them down where
3:35 people are used to them you know in the
3:37 bottom corner of a modal box and that
3:41 way if you edit some text and you make a
3:42 mistake and you just want to go back to
3:44 where you were you can just click the X
3:47 button and it'll jump back to whatever
3:49 you had there before
3:54 now the last little feature that we
3:56 added to text editing was suggested by a
4:00 customer he had been editing a layout
4:04 that had lots of narrow columns and was
4:06 having a lot of trouble editing those
4:08 columns now in the past you could make a
4:11 partial and kind of break those columns
4:13 out into somewhere else but you know it
4:15 was a lot of work but what we did now is
4:18 we made the text edit pane have a nice
4:20 size even when you're editing a narrow
4:25 column so it'll overflow that column
4:28 into the adjacent areas and no matter
4:33 how small the the column gets it'll
4:35 always be at least this size if you're
4:39 editing text near the edge of your
4:43 layout it won't overflow your toolbars
4:46 either so it it knows and respects the
4:49 boundary of the layout area so that's a
4:54 quick little look at text editing in
4:56 stacks for you know we have a new text
4:59 edit pane
5:00 it has a nice size it has new toolbars
5:03 that are contextual and it has a
5:05 contrast button which is yeah both a
5:09 nice to have and has real practical
5:11 application so that's feature number
5:14 three make sure and check out feature
5:15 number four that is resource images it's
5:18 a lot like having warehouse images built
5:20 in you'll dig it um feature number five
5:23 make sure and catch that one that's
5:25 extensions that's external and externals
5:28 are the big new feature in stacks for
5:31 thanks for watching"}]
