GraFx Publisher
Fixes
- Fixed failing document preview because of failing preflight checks if a required variable is empty
Overview
GraFx Studio
- Fixed issue with output generation in both Template Designer workspace and Studio UI
- You can now delete multiple paragraph and character styles, colors, and actions at once
Improvements to Actions (experimental feature):
- An error icon is shown in the list of actions if the action contains errors
- We added more flexibility to get and set properties in an action
- We changed the method name to change the visibility of a frame:
.include()is replaced by.setVisible()
Warning
This is a breaking change! Please update any template that uses this method (here you can find an example of how it works). Projects created from these templates will also be impacted, so it is advised to delete them and start new projects from the updated templates.
GraFx Publisher
- User management in GraFx Publisher has changed to API User management. You are now able to manage GraFx Publisher users in CHILI GraFx platform. Existing users in GraFx Publisher are unaffected, but we advise migrating these users to CHILI GraFx.
- Fixed an issue in the DEL ‘/rest-api/v1.2/resources/Documents/folders’ endpoint to prevent data loss.
GraFx Studio
With this release, we introduced improvements to the GraFx Studio Smart Template editor
- You're now able to reorder actions (this impacts the order of execution when multiple actions have the same trigger)
- Action script is saved even if it contains errors (indicated with a red squiggly line). This is useful when you're in the middle of writing an action and you need to close the action interface to check something
- Visual improvements to the action interface
- Rename action trigger to "Selected layout changed"
- Force action names to be unique
- Show notification when closing or reloading GraFx Studio with unsaved changes
- When inserting an image variable in an image frame that contains an image, this image is automatically set as default state for that image variable
- Dialog to edit a character/paragraph style is not hidden behind the animation timeline anymore
- Fixed issue with error tooltips
- Add percentage sign behind line height value
- Selecting another layout exits text editing mode
- It's no longer possible to use a URL for an image variable (an asset ID must be used)
We also improved the GraFx Studio UI, the interface for the self-service use-case
- Automatically zoom to page when another layout is selected by an action
- Shortcuts to select another tool are disabled to prevent end-users from accidentally going into inline edit mode
- Shortcut to open the debug panel is disabled
- Show indicator and block new downloads while download is in progress

- Delete a user so the user loses all his privileges within that subscription & the user isn't visible in the list of users anymore
CHILI GraFx Platform API
Improvements
- GET /subscription/id and /subscription/id/renders were migrated to use GUIDs. Now all our endpoints use GUIDs for identifying entities.

GraFx Studio
Features
New action item ‘Collection settings’ was added to collections. This panel can be opened in two ways:
- Through the "Three dots" on the collection card and clicking "Collection settings"
- Inside a collection by clicking on the "Three dots" in the top right corner.
It opens a panel with ‘Cover image’ option which allows to upload image that is shown on the collection card. For the uploaded image PNG, JPG and JPEG formats can be used and we don’t have restrictions for a file size.
Fixes
- Fixed issue where a template could be opened as a project from ‘Collection’ tab. Now a template can be opened only from the ‘My projects’ tab
