Get the Update
Elements should prompt you while it’s running to let you know there’s an update. If it doesn’t, you can select the “Check for Updates…” menu option from the “Elements” app menu.
Please note: Sometimes it takes a while for the update to propagate. If you don’t see the update in-app, you can download the latest build of Elements from the confirmation email you received, as that link will ALWAYS give you the latest version.
Give Feedback
If you are using the beta, please post all feedback in the Elements Beta Feedback Forum. You can use the Elements > Send Feedback… menu item to automatically pre-fill the build number into a new topic.
Please remember to search before posting as it may have already been suggested. If your idea is already listed, you might want to upvote it. The more votes an idea gets the sooner it’ll get implemented.
Nice work on the workspaces. Now, under Manage Workspaces we need renaming, plus I’d like to see Save as Default on This Machine. Why that latter bit? Because of moving between laptop and desktop. Be nice if Elements knew which machine I was working on and changed my workspace accordingly.
I found this bug: When the inspector is moved to the bottom of the screen, the segments no longer expand. When you then choose the default settings, the inspector is returned to its original position, but the segments still cannot be expanded.
Similar issues here when I try to rearrange the user interface. Can’t expand them anymore. And I can’t even manually resize the canvas after changing the UI. Restarting Elements helps though.
When the bottom section is resized, it doesn’t move gradually. When you try to enlarge it to see more code, the panel jumps all the way to the top of the screen. It’s not possible to reduce the section size by dragging the slider downwards.
