Hello again, This week we’re introducing the Reveal Component — With this new component, you can apply animations as elements come into view, or attach them to the scroll position. It’s taken us a while to get to this point, as we’ve restarted on this component many times! We now think we finally h…

:astonished: Oh No, so does this replace the previous Scroll Effects ? [Dev Diary Ep36 — Scroll Effects] Scroll Effects seemed more fine tunable while this new video seems more liked canned effects. Didn’t find the Scroll Effects in the Element Docs thats why I’m asking. Thanks

Playfully, usefully and unobtrusively guiding people to, and through, information is really important from a usability, effectiveness and ‘d…

The new reveal component is a welcome addition and works very intuitively. However, I do find it a bit of a drawback that you have to switch to preview mode each time to see the result. This somewhat detracts from the idea of Elements being a WYSIWYG tool. But I assume this is technically challengin…
