🌟 Highlights
✅ Template variations introduce variations on activity templates that can be used throughout both Mobile and Web apps to further refine and craft the user’s experience within your app. This initial release focuses on the core Content and Survey activity template allowing you to select from a series of predefined template variation configurations. Different configurations allow you to customise the ‘continue’ button text on each view within activities, hide the close button, remove the ‘confirm’ message when a user closes an activity or get rid of the continue button completely. These new variations allow for improved onboarding, content delivery, custom navigation possibilities and so much more.
✅ Embed external videos and web content - the WEB question type within the Content & Survey activity template has been enhanced to include a ‘youtube’ display type allowing for an optimised display of embedded external video content (youtube or otherwise).
✅ Welcoming gifs to the Cogniss family - animated .gif files are now supported across the base app and content anywhere that an image is supported. Gifs are great to create engaging content and providing instructional animations. We look forward to seeing what everyone does with this.
✅ Customise the look and feel of your content further with the new text preview collapsible text display type within the Content & Survey activity template. This allows you to make your content more interactive and visually dynamic without overwhelming the user with large blocks of content as well as utilising the new ability to customise the collapsible text icon. Combine these enhancements with our new Theme accent colours to really bring your content to life.
