Swap objects
What does it do?
This feature does what it says on the tin, allowing you to swap the position of two objects on your slide. Thanks to some new coding wizardry, the swapped objects now also stay in the same layer, meaning swapping something out won’t affect your design at all.
Why is this a useful tool?
Do you know that feeling when you’ve spent phone numbers in korea ages designing a slide and making it look perfect, but right at the end you realise you’ve got a better image that you should have used? Rather than messing around with the selection pane and trying to deconstruct your slide, this tool lets you to swap it out with no fuss.

Split text (Update)
What does it do?
We did talk about this feature on our last round-up, but it’s been given a new lease of life to make it even more useful! Now when you want to take a block of text and split it into sentences or paragraphs, the text will be distributed vertically across the screen, rather than horizontally. It also keeps the formatting and bullet point styles of your text consistent after splitting.
