FlowPaper 3.1.8 Release Notes

2 March 2018

We’re rolling out version 3.1.8 this week and you’ll notice that things have been moved around a bit in the desktop publisher to give room for new settings and features that are coming in the next few months. We’re mainly allocating more space to the main design area by moving settings into expandable panels to the left. The right hand panels are intended to be context sensitive. Let us know if there is any setting you can’t locate and we’ll help you out! Our documentation will be updated accordingly.
