Major Update Sort Images with Folders Tags

This week, Lucidpress has rolled out a major update to its image manager for all users. Now, grouping and sorting your images in Lucidpress will be easier and more convenient than ever before. Here's a peak at the new image manager and how it improves your online design experience. Related: New feature—Review & approve documents with Lucidpress Sorting images with folders Previously, all images uploaded to Lucidpress were stored in the image manager in the order they were uploaded, starting with the most recent first. Users could tag their photos, then search for tags in the image manager. This system was sufficient for users who only needed a few images for a few documents. But as our user base grew across schools, homes and businesses, so did the need for more robust image management. Enter folders. (Please, hold your applause.) Now you can move your photos into folders right inside the image manager. This makes it easy to organize photos into groups and find any particular photo more quickly and efficiently. If you're worried about losing all your carefully considered tags, don't be. Tags are still supported and easily searchable, so you can feel free to tag away. You can also use the new Sort menu to display images in a variety of ways: date added, keyword, title and more. Sending images to the trash No one likes a cluttered image library. In the past, deleting a photo from the image manager would remove it from Lucidpress altogether. And while this made your image library look cleaner, there were sometimes... repercussions. For example, if you owned any shared documents that contained the image, deleting it would remove the image from the document—for everyone. No bueno. To prevent accidents like this one, we've added a trash can to the image manager. Now, when you delete a photo, it goes into your trash but doesn't disappear from Lucidpress altogether. Think of it as... picture purgatory. If, for whatever reason, you decide you need that picture after all, simply restore it to put it back in your library. Or, empty the trash to send all those unnecessary pixels into the ether. A gorgeously updated UI Not only did we add new functionality to the image manager, we also overhauled the interface and updated its look. We hope you enjoy the improved image layout in your library, as well as updated menus that make it easier to find what you want. On the left side, you'll see one-click integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox and Facebook, so it's easier than ever to import your favorite photos from other services. You'll also see easy access to image search tools like Bing Images and Icon Finder. With all these options at your fingertips, you'll never have a hard time finding the perfect image for your document—and unlike Canva, there are no pesky micro-transactions along the way. (Sorry, Canva, but we had to...) Speaking of updated UIs, did you notice the new option bar? We've shuffled a few elements around to make design and editing in your browser the best experience possible. Take a moment to look around and familiarize yourself with new shape controls and advanced text options. These changes make Lucidpress more intuitive and will help speed up the design process.
