Completed. Available with v3

Import the same rich text editing from Exhibition text blocks with automatic footnote or note capability for use within Blueprints.

Publishing automatically creates a snapshot, giving you an easy rollback to your last published version. Manual snapshots let you bookmark your progress before making big changes. FIFO limit of 10.

Search and browse artist, creator, and organization records from a self-hosted ULAN database. Filter by record type (Person/Organization), nationality, and role.

Added overlay options for object title and additional fields in Grid View. View on hover or always visible as Badge or full image overlay. New text padding available for better fullscreen layouts.

PDF View within object file context
