Hello! My name is Oksana. I am happy to be a part of the ShortPoint Support team for over two years now. It is likely that we have met each other before on support calls and in forum replies. Today, I am beyond grateful to connect with you using this newsletter to present important ShortPoint news and updates.
These days the entire world is experiencing a difficult time full of uncertainty and fear. The idea of this newsletter started prior to Covid-19, social distancing, closed borders, isolation and quarantine. ShortPoint understands the importance of community and helping each other during difficult times. Now more than ever, I believe in the power and benefits of remote workplaces and intranets. We would like to offer extra help with team sites, especially since most companies are in critical and urgent need for a successful team site.
This newsletter will offer you some useful insights to get the most out of your collaboration experience. I sincerely hope you and your loved ones are staying safe, and that you receive this newsletter in good health and high spirits.
Sincerely,
Oksana Aloshyna
Customer Support Manager

Our upcoming ShortPoint SPFx release will focus on the highly requested Page Builder improvements.
We are preparing to present the Code Design Element to give users an opportunity to use it as Script Editor for Modern SharePoint pages and embed third-party content into the page, as well as be able to run JavaScript on the page.
The Image Design Element is another surprise we are working on just for you. Not only will you be able to add responsive images to your Pages, but you can even add panoramic images, AND let your users view them in a nice 360° panoramic view.
With the Text Design Element you will be able to write and post content directly into your pages. The content will automatically inherit your Theme Builder Typography settings, including your custom fonts. You can even bring dynamic content from your libraries and display it as pure text – without any workarounds!
Some visual and functional improvements are coming your way in Page Builder for the following elements: Alert, Text-show, Ticket, Lists and Youtube.
We re-invented the Connect Feature and will present a completely new approach to manage connected content from the Settings interface of all elements. From now on, you will enjoy more control and preciseness to handle your connections.
Also, we will bring improvements to the Events Design Element:
