Changelog

Track updates, new features, and improvements to CXD Canvas

v1.6.0

LATEST• November 1, 2026
New

Frameworks: a new tab in Templates with 12 guided methods for thinking, ideating, planning, shipping, marketing, distributing and selling experiences. Each one explains what it is, when to use it and how to run it, builds a canvas with numbered step cards, and the Canvas Assistant coaches inside it

New

Iceberg Model, How Might We + Crazy 8s and the Impact–Effort Matrix are free. The rest are Pro, and every explainer is readable on any plan

Fixed

Canvases created from the Templates page now always save to your account, and free plan canvas limits apply there too

Fixed

Inserting a template on a canvas with content now places it beside your work instead of on top of it

Fixed

The upgrade prompt now opens in front of the template picker, so it can be clicked

v1.5.0

• October 11, 2026
New

Canvas Assistant (beta) — describe what you need and the assistant draws it as a real diagram: flows, loops, mind maps, spines, tables, quadrants and more. It can also rename, restyle, tag, group, connect and delete what is already on the board, turn notes into Plan tasks, and review your canvas with comments pinned where work is needed. You always see a preview before anything changes

New

Pick the form before anything is drawn — the assistant proposes the diagram forms that fit your request, with a recommendation in front, and select-and-rework redraws a selection while keeping its content and tags. Tidy, connect and redraw tools for a selection use no credits

New

Export the board or just a selection as PNG, JPEG or a vector PDF with sharp, selectable text, or copy it as an image ready to paste into an AI chat (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + E)

New

Gradient editor in every colour menu — linear and radial gradients with draggable stops, opacity, angle and centre, plus saved gradients you can reuse as swatches anywhere

New

Premium shapes and one text editor — rich text inside shapes, 25 fonts, connectors that end on a shape's real outline, a quick colour fan after placing an element, and a 280-emoji picker for notes and documents

New

Groups you can drill into (Ctrl/Cmd + G to group, click again to select inside), a compact selection toolbar, one Align menu with distribute, focus mode (Ctrl/Cmd + .) and a pinned inbox note

New

Free plan now gates capacity instead of features — every Plan view and the Quickstart templates are unlocked on Free, with 1 canvas, 100 objects and 25 AI credits a month

New

Teams of up to 5 collaborators per canvas on Pro and Lifetime (was 3), with smoother live cursors while following a teammate

Improved

Dashboard — your cover image now runs edge to edge behind the navigation bar, projects are larger in a two-column grid, and the right column always shows an overview of the selected project (your most recent canvas by default) with tasks, hypercube balance, roadmap and OKRs. Tutorials and the Changelog live in the navbar, and a project's cover can be repositioned from its overview

Improved

Hypercube Map — a larger cube, hover a face to preview it with an info card, face-coloured tag icons, and a smoother transition when you select a face. A tag badge on every canvas element replaces the toolbar tag button

Improved

Canvas comments glow violet and their thread panel sits above connector lines; toolbar menus stay clear of the element you are editing at any zoom; rename a board by double-clicking its breadcrumb

Improved

Faster, lighter projects — pasted images are stored as files instead of inside the project, so the dashboard and large canvases load quicker

Fixed

Fixed edits being silently reverted on load and edits made mid-save being dropped, and the canvas now waits for the project to load before showing

Fixed

Fixed reordering Experience Flow stages breaking the canvas, a crash when duplicating a multi-selection, duplicate connectors from a single drag, and shapes whose text could only be edited once

Fixed

Fixed containers stretching to fit far-away elements, text boxes jittering while typing, and display fonts not loading in production

v1.4.0

• July 22, 2026
New

22 redesigned templates — one for every experience element (Intention Core, Meaning Architecture, Desired Change, Human Context, Reality Planes, Sensory Domains, Presence Types, State & Trait Mapping, Experience Flow) plus personas, storyboards, UX flows, journeys, moodboards, campaigns and more. Every template is a real composition: tinted zones with guidance captions, curved gradient connectors, hexagon portals, and pre-styled cards you edit instead of blank boxes

New

Multilayer templates — hexagon portals inside a template open onto their own ready-made layouts. Double-click Storyboard for a shot sequence, Moodboard for a reference wall, Research for an evidence shelf, or a Persona for a full persona sheet

New

AI Composer is back — finish the framing wizard and let AI read your answers to pick and set up the best-fitting template for your project, then frame the canvas onto it

New

Storyboard cards — turn any image into a framed storyboard cell with a caption, drag the image to reframe its focal point, resize the caption, and restyle the border, background and text (including gradients) from one colour editor

New

Tables on the canvas — full grids with per-cell, row, column and table-wide colours and gradients, drag-to-resize rows and columns, reorderable rows and columns, and cells that grow to fit their text as you type

New

Draw a container around existing elements to capture them, drop many elements into a board at once and choose whether to keep their arrangement or distribute them, and alt-drag a whole selection to duplicate it

New

AI insights on the dashboard — generate a summary of any experience plus prioritized recommendations, alongside task status, roadmap progress and OKRs

New

Export & Deliverables hub, plus templates now reachable from both the navbar and the account menu

Improved

Canvas polish — a level-of-detail dot grid that stays crisp at any zoom with a three-state toggle, connectors that inherit the colour of the flow they extend, element menus that open beside what you are editing instead of covering it, and a bigger scrollable emoji picker

Improved

Cleaner save indicator, note cards that can hide their title, side panels centred at any window height, and a dashboard preview that fits its grid

Fixed

Fixed containers resizing themselves when merely clicked, template connector lines being left behind when moving a whole template, cropped images stretching instead of filling their frame, and Delete removing a shape's text instead of the shape

v1.3.0

• July 10, 2026
New

Master Plan Database (Pro) — a cross-project task cockpit with Table, Kanban, List, Timeline, Calendar, and Roadmap views over every task across every canvas you own or collaborate on

New

Master Plan tasks are now fully editable — inline status/priority edits, drag-and-drop between Kanban columns, and a task detail panel that opens on click in any view, all writing safely back into the source project

New

Master Plan Timeline uses the same Gantt chart as the single-project Plan tab, with drag-to-reschedule and dependencies; Roadmap shows every version across every project with its linked tasks

New

AI-drafted canvas elements and AI-suggested Hypercube tags, both reviewed before they touch your canvas

New

Wizard answers now populate the canvas as a hub-and-satellite layout of real Experience Block cards, boards, and notes instead of flat text containers, with text boxes that grow to fit their content

Improved

Dashboard redesign — profile stats and quick actions moved inline as compact squares, Experience Maps grid widened to 4 columns, and selecting a project now opens an in-grid overview panel with progress and a sensory-signature chart

Fixed

Hypercube Map — corrected the minimap so the selected face lands on the front of the cube, and removed a flicker during rotation

Fixed

Fixed a "Maximum update depth exceeded" crash that could occur right after completing the wizard
