Generic Features

New Media Components (v3.6 / 2018Q4)

The new components have been added to provide more control
for media types that previously were only embeddable
using the custom code component.

These dedicated components make embedding of
media types easier and more robust:

Infogram

Infogram components give you control over responsiveness and
width of your infogram content, so it can fit into any layout easily.

Compared to Infogram embeds using the Custom Code component,
this will have much improved reliability while being far more robust
on mobile devices.

Twitter Feed

Easily add the feed of any Twitter account by
simply referencing their handle.
If required, you can now also control the height of
the feed to keep your article clan and compact.

Enhanced Video & Audio

Added support for Facebook Video and
Facebook Workspace Video embeds, and PodBean audio.

These introduce a few new options that you may not have
seen before; see Canvasflow support knowledgebase
for all details and new components.

A Smoother Experience

As users are creating more complex and long-form content,
we want Canvasflow to continue to feel fast and easy to
work with; so Canvasflow has majorly optimised load times.

Even the longest and most complex articles now only take
a matter of seconds to be fully editable.

Creating articles from a PDF now provide even better image
