For this release, we focused on freeform layout and advanced style properties. And as usual, we've sent out hundreds of invites.

Snapping

Freeform layout is much more fun with snapping.

Dragging and nudging objects until they snap to each other.

New Position panel

With the new Position panel, you can position objects relative to a parent. Handing for pinning your AppBar to the top of the viewport.

Backdrop filter

Now you can apply filters to anything behind the object. Perfect for frosted glass effects.

Redesigned spacing panel

We've redesigned the spacing panel to combine margin and padding.

Wrap in Flex

Select multiple objects, right-click, then click "Wrap in Flex". Now you can control spacing and alignment with the Flex panel.
