Platform Updates: Editor Enhancements

Today we've released the biggest update to our editor and template builder ever. Building on feedback from our loyal customers and business users, we've added new layout options for your cards and letters, massively improved performance and made the editing experience much more effective on a mobile device.

For those stuck finding the right words for their cards and letters, we've added an assistant to help craft your message. Let it know the occasion, your relationship to the recipient and the tone you'd like to set, and we'll take care of the rest. We're excited to hear feedback on this feature and how useful you find it!

We've also given you the ability to add stickers to further enhance your cards with cute creatures, messages and many more things. Take your cards to the next level with more personalisation than ever before.

Our business customers can now take advantage of greatly enhanced QR codes, with additional design options, new layouts and further customisation control. For help with QR codes and how they can aid your business, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

For a full list of changes, please see below. As always, we're committed to creating an amazing experience for our customers so please reach out to our support team with any issues or suggestions for features!
