ContentStudio 2.0 release was a huge assignment for our team. The data migration of all accounts was a mammoth task within itself. We were able to successfully migrate 40 million social and blog posts in order to protect data integrity. Under strict time constraints, we strived our best to build a version which would bring smiles to our customer’s faces.

Since the release one month ago, we have been hard at work refining and perfecting exciting new improvements to make your experience better. We are really happy to introduce the latest features to our valued users.

Let’s begin exploring them.

Native Image Editor

Using images in your content, stories and social posts increases their chances of catching the audience. There are times when you need to add a text or a gradient to images, but it requires some other third-party tool like Canva etc.

We have come over this problem for you. Now add text or apply filters to images, using our built-in Image Editor. Here is how.

1. Click on the Pencil Icon.


2. The editor will open, you can load your image and save it and have it published to your channels.

 

3. Use the toolbar on the left-hand side of the image editor and apply stunning effects to the images.
