What's New?
Object action: Set object field
Introducing the new Set object field button action! This powerful feature allows creators to directly update the settings of a target object, such as modifying the text or color of a sticky note. Perfect for dynamic adjustments on the fly.
New widgets
Introducing the Weather widget! Display real-time weather updates including temperature, conditions, wind speed, and humidity.
Introducing the Image Pan/Zoom widget! Smoothly pan and zoom high-resolution images directly within the widget object.
Introducing the Live stream player widget! Embed live video on your board by simply pasting a URL to instantly play streams from YouTube Live, Twitch, and more!

Enhancements
File Management Enhancements
The Files Panel now supports the ability to Replace Files, updating all board objects referencing the file. In the file's dropdown menu, simply click the "Replace" button to upload a new "replacement" file. Please note the following limitations:
The file must be the same filetype.
Widgets, GIF, SVG, and other HTML-embed object types are unsupported.
We have added a new object action to open the files panel to a specific file path. This is useful when you want to share organization-level content across the team without having the toolbar available.
Design and Usability Features
For a cleaner UI experience, the "Play" and "Stop" buttons in Screenshare assets now auto-hide when there is no interaction with the selected asset.
When selecting a color, now you can select a custom color without overriding existing color presets. Simply select the "color wheel" icon to apply the color to the selected object.
Now you can set the visibility of object titles for Alleo Rooms displays, users, both, or neither. This is useful when you want to see the titles on your laptop but hide them on a large Alleo Rooms display.
For ease of design tasks, we have introduced a board setting to display object dimensions and scale values while designers move or scale the object. When scaling the object, it snaps to 100% when it is near that value.
Now you can resize sticky notes and other objects supporting "resize" mode by dragging the center of the top, bottom, left, or right edge.
The "Search Overview" mode now renders sticky notes and notepad contents that match search criteria.
The object action to clear a container's contents is now compatible with "freeform" containers.
We have introduced a board setting for Object Drawing; now you can disable drawing when it is not relevant to the use case.
When rotating assets, now the asset will rotate around the center X,Y axis.
When using an object action to paste a sticky note, the sticky note's input cursor is no longer active by default.
Help UI
We’ve streamlined our help UI to direct you to the Alleo Community site for improved support and knowledge sharing.
Quickly access keyboard shortcuts with the new UI button.
Need the old help center? It’s still available at help.withalleo.com.
The help modal UI has also been updated, and this remains accessible from the user dropdown in the board header.
Object connections
Now you can long press to select an object connection, accessing its context menu with styling and other connector options.
We've introduced a new keyboard shortcut to streamline the process of connecting objects. To create a connection, first select the initial object, press "Shift + C," and then select the second object to create the connection.
