  Ref Selectors in Sidebars

  

  When you use the Videate Sidebar (now available for Google Docs and Oxygen Web) and preview a video, you will see on the bottom right of your screen a thumbnail of the selector you've created. This appears after the first full preview of your document, and gives you a visual reference of what each selector is referring to. you can see more about our Ref selectors here.

• File Uploads in Environments

   

  Many have expressed a need to show the process of uploading a document into your platform, which necessitates uploading the document into your environment for access through the instance's file explorer. This feature is now available, and you can find more information on the feature here.
