A new month a new update for Brizy, and we have some exciting new options, features, and elements for you. Let's go through what we've added in our latest update. A full list can be found in the change logs for Brizy Cloud & WordPress.
Here are the highlights:
Help Video functionality inside the builder
Help video functionality inside the builder
We've added more than 70 helper videos inside the builder, very easy to access from the Update toolbar on the bottom right hand side.
Pressing the (?) icon will open the right sidebar where you can access the videos. These will walk you through everything related to the builder from global blocks, conditions, styling, menus & navigation, specific elements and more.
Variable fonts
Think of a variable font as an entire font family, rather than just one style or instance. This is a new font technology supported by the major browsers that is probably the future of fonts on the web.
Some benefits in using variable fonts are: small size (a variable font is one file), helps with loading speed (being one file that means fewer requests for assets) and last but not least it gives you flexible design opportunities (you are not locked into fixed weights when working with text).
Text highlight color
Make your text pop out and attract users attention with text highlight color.
We've added the option to control the background color on text in the Text element. All you have to do is select the text you want to highlight and change the color and background color for the selection only.
Import Saved Layouts with global styles
Now we save the global styling together with the layout so you can bring in global colors and typography when you import a saved layout.
Even if you choose not to import the global styling for a saved layout, we add it in your Global Styling dropdown with the name you've setup for the saved layout. (Tip: more control on the custom styles, like changing the name, or creating a new style coming in a future update.)
Dynamic image for Video covers
Starting with this update we've added the ability to bring in dynamic images for cover images on the Video element.
You can build your covers with custom assets in the Brizy Cloud CMS and set them up dynamically using the server icon near the Cover image upload option.
New Post Navigation element
If you are building courses or lessons, the Post Navigation element is perfect to let you navigate to the next or previous post in the category.
New Breadcrumbs element
Starting with this update we've added the ability to bring in dynamic images for cover images on the Video element.
What's next
More cool things are just around the corner. We are preparing the Media Gallery for Brizy Cloud, more new elements: Table of Content and FlipBox, and the AI page builder is coming sooner than you think. Stay in the loop with the latest updates and news by subscribing to our newsletter.
Until next time.
