Print + Fabric Type (Examples: black and white stripes, stripe jacquard)
Color or Print + Fiber
Product category (Examples: blazer, dress)

General Fabric Library
To improve your visuals in the fabric library we've auto cropped all swatch images in the library into a square
We increased the upper range limit on fabric searches, which is now linked to real values in the database
Loading the fabric list in the library is now x6 quicker than before
We improved the fabric floating menu by adding spacing on the image / floating menu so it's easier to select the options on iPad
You now get a "Buy" button directly on every fabric page. This will make it easier for you to purchase the swatch or yardage directly from the supplier.
You can now search by both SKU ID and description
Keyboard shortcuts can be used to navigate text in the search bar
Artboard and Canvas Improvements
You can now select any artboard by holding down the Command (Mac) or Control (Windows) key, this has also been added to the artboard label as a reminder. This is especially useful when you have collages filling the entire artboard area.
We've also made artboard multi-selection a lot quicker and easier. You can do that by drawing a selection box covering the entire surface area of the artboard, or you can hold down Shift to multi select artboards.
For all you writers out there, we spent a lot of time improving text. So it's quicker and less glitchy when you're writing
We have added a new feature suggestion board where you can vote for features that would improve your design workflow: https://makethedot.featurebase.app/
