Background Merge and Split

Shared by Adam • December 20, 2022

We are pleased to announce we have added support for background settings to merge values between desktop and mobile versions of the site!

New:

  • Mobile/Desktop Merged Background Values
    No more going in and making the change, only to have to laboriously drag your mouse to the other view to repeat the process. Now with a couple of clicks you can merge the settings and any changes are applied to both. If the settings are already the same, we automatically show them as merged, as though through magic. Easily keep your site in sync!

This is without a doubt the greatest merge since chocolate and peanut butter. Or nachos and cheese. Or mashed potatoes and gravy. I really should not write these when I am hungry. We hope you find these merges exciting and helpful, like the items listed above, and not strange and terrifying, like that movie The Thing. The one where the alien merges everyone's DNA together like some kind of monster Play-Doh. That would have been a really great tie in product, honestly. I feel like I missed my calling in toy design. I could have sold dozens of those. The road not taken...

We cannot wait for you to begin merging!

Contributor Access Updates

We made some improvements to how you view accounts for which you have contributor access!

New:

  • Quick Login To Client's Design App
    You can now click on the Design App button to be taken directly into that client's designs from your Showit Account! No more needing to switch accounts in the design app itself, you will be teleported there magically through the use of special Showit elves, who we promise are not harmed in this process and in fact are given a cookie. I am told the elves eat an all cookie diet which I cannot recommend, but I do not know enough about elves or magic to dispute the efficacy. Once thusly teleported you can work your own magic on the client site!
  • Client's Blog Admin Link & Details
    Immediately next door to the Design App button (hello, neighbor!), the Blog Admin button provides you with instructions for logging in to the client site directly, based on what tier the blog is on. No more puzzling through inscrutable tomes in dimly lit subterranean hallways under torch light. The instructions are right there in plain language, not riddles inscribed by eerie technocrats in their glowing digichambers.

We hope these improvements will surprise and delight you, ushering in a new golden era of collaboration and productivity!

New: Easily setup your Social Links

We just added a new feature to make it easier to update social links across your site design. Now you can setup your Social Links in Site Settings > Social and then in your design you'll find a new option under Click Actions for Social Link where you can select from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, and Twitter.

Once you've got it setup on your design then it becomes a breeze to update your social URLs anytime they change.

We believe this new feature will be especially helpful for our designer community creating all of the amazing template designs.
