Now you can import your Dash assets directly into your WordPress media library. (Previously, you could only import assets directly into pages you were editing.)

This will help you if:

• You are preparing your media library assets in advance of editing a page
• You use a custom editor that doesn't support the Dash WordPress plugin

The WordPress integration is available to all users at no extra charge. We hope you enjoy this update 🙂

We've added some filtering improvements to make finding the perfect asset that bit easier!

🔍 Choose to switch your filters between and / or

When selecting multiple items in a filter, you might want to search for assets that include all of those options, or any. Now you can!

🔍 Sort your folders and fields alphabetically

Now you can choose to sort your list of folders alphabetically. This also works within any field that contains a list of data (e.g. dropdown lists).

🔍 Find assets without fields populated

You can choose the "is empty" option now within a filter to find any assets that don't haven't had any field options selected.

Trim videos

You can now trim the start and end positions of videos, to download only the exact portion of a video you need.

Resize videos

Choose from preset sizes or manually choose your own dimensions, to download videos in the specific size you need.

Learn more about video options in our video help article.

By popular demand, we are pleased to launch Guest upload 🎉

You can now create a public upload link, allowing non-Dash users to upload assets directly to your Dash.

This is great for giving photographers, members of the public (for UGC), influencers and others an easy way to send you assets without the need to use emails, wetransfer etc!

You can now browse your Dash assets from within Shopify, and add them to your products' images with a single click.

To enable the integration, just send us a message using the in-app chat and we'll send you an installation link.

Here is everything we released in December (and November), including bug fixes and smaller tweaks that don't normally get promoted, for those power users out there!

New features

• Enter manual crop dimensions when downloading custom sizes
• Download assets in WEBP format
• Create, edit. move and delete folders from the Filters panel (admins only)!

Improvements

• S3 imports now give additional information on the assets being imported and success rate
• Can now search for single words (previously, assets with tags that contained that word alongside other words would also be returned)
• Ability to exclude specific tags in the filters panel (holt option/alt and click the tag)
• Can now search for 'stop words' individually (some words that are often used as part of a phrase and so were previously ignored)
• Nicer generic thumbnails for unrecognised filetypes

Bug fixes

• Date/time fields could not be added
• Using arrow keys in the crop screen would browse to the next asset
• Colons don't work in search (they do now!)
• SVGs downloaded as PNGs would sometimes corrupt

You can now enter custom vertical and horizontal crop dimensions on download. Once set, you can drag the resulting crop area onto the desired portion of your image.

Or, lock the aspect ratio and you can resize the crop area proportionally, either by dragging it or entering one dimension.

Simply click Download > Custom download > crop to access the new controls.

You can now download assets in the web-optimised WEBP format.

We have just launched our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) feature 🎉

With MFA enabled, your users will be required to authenticate with a secondary method (one-time code generated by an authenticator app) in order to access their Dash.

The beta is available to anyone, just get in touch using the in-app chat and ask to have it enabled 🙂

Canva is an online design and publishing tool with a mission to empower everyone in the world to design anything and publish anywhere.
