• The tiles on the left are much more usable and bigger
• Create personas once and re-use them for every demo (or use a custom one for each demo!)
• Personas, Footer and Theme settings are much more intuitive so you know exactly how things are going to look when you hit Publish
• Re-position the hotspot! No matter where you clicked, you can now simply drag-and-drop the hotspot to the appropriate place
• Re-position the cue! You can now move the tile to the left or right of the hotspot so your viewers can see what you want them to see and the cue is not obstructive
• Is there an image or GIF that you wanted to add to your Showcase without having to redo the whole demo again? Now, you can! Simply click on the (+) icon under the tile and upload an image or a gif in the appropriate place. Then add the hotspot and the cue wherever you'd like :)

Hope you enjoy all the new features! Let us know if we can help in any way!
