New Features and Improvements for April 2015

Print

On this page:

Collapsible Grid

  • This component has moved from Experimental to the More Components menu of the Sidekick, and is available for use on all sites.

Column Control

Some column options (e.g. 3-6-3) were missing from shared content pages, but are now available.

Events List

Events up to a year in the past can now be featured by this component. In addition, event coloring has changed to the following:

  • Gray = past events
  • Dark blue = today’s events (formerly light blue)
  • Light blue = other upcoming events (formerly gray).

Default values produce the same lists (no past events), so no changes other than coloring are expected for existing event lists.

External Embed

https URLs are now supported.

Key Tasks

The new Key Tasks component (found in the “Experimental Components” Sidekick group for now) places key messaging content next to a photo or slide deck in a homepage layout.

Photo Gallery (New)

  • This component has moved from the Experimental menu of the Sidekick to More Components and is available for use on all sites.
  • It has replaced the old Photo Slideshow and Photo Gallery components, which have been labeled “RETIRED” in the Sidekick. They will be removed from the Sidekick at a future time, making authors unable to add them to pages after that time. Existing "Photo Slideshow (RETIRED)" and "Photo Gallery (RETIRED)" components will continue working as-is indefinitely.
