Organizers Celebrating Everywhere!

Shared by JT • May 13, 2025

You know who you are—the one with color-coded calendars, smart naming conventions, and just a little too much joy when things snap into place. Well, get ready to feel it in your soul:


👉 Page Folders are officially live in Showit.

Now you can organize your Pages panel to keep even the most sprawling site builds feeling crisp, clean, and totally under control.

Whether your site has sprawled to 50 pages or just like things exactly where they belong, this update is designed to make your organized heart sing.

A few things to know:

  • Folders are purely organizational. They won’t affect your published site.
  • Currently we're supporting one folder level, but there are no limits to how many folders you can have.
  • No more endless scrolling to find that one “Thank You” page you swore you named correctly.

🧠 Pro Tip:

Can’t find the page you’re looking for after you've organized everything in folders?
Open the Command Palette with:

  • Command + P on Mac
  • Control + P on Windows

Then type the page name and go straight to it—plus discover loads of other quick actions along the way.

Page chaos, conquered!
We can’t wait to see how you put it to work.

More Control with Multi-Select

Shared by JT • May 06, 2025

Editing just got a major upgrade. Now when you multi-select the same type of layer—like a bunch of text boxes—you’ll see settings specific to that object type. This makes it way easier to align fonts, spacing, colors, and more. No more clicking into each one individually. It's a small change with a big impact on your design flow.

Design Stage Sizing & Gallery Image List Improvements

JT avatar
Shared by JT • April 07, 2025

Hey all!

Our team recently rolled out some improvements that make Showit feel even more intuitive.

New: Resize the Mobile/Desktop Split View

You can now manually change the split between the mobile and desktop layouts which pairs well with our new Fit Width size option from our updated zoom controls.

Bonus🎉 The mobile and desktop layouts now auto-size to fit on your screen when you first open Showit so you can fully see your design on every screen size.

New: Gallery Images List Layouts

We heard some feedback about how our update made it really difficult to edit title and alt text. So we’ve switched the default view back to what it used to be displaying the image title, while also introducing a new larger view that makes it really easy to edit titles and alt text for all gallery images quickly.

What do you think of these updates? Do they help improve your design workflow?

New Integrations, Global Custom Code & Zoom Controls

Adam avatar
Shared by Adam • April 07, 2025

Greetings, friends!,

We are back with another exciting edition of new Showit Features, from our Product Department to your screens. We have three new features we are pleased to announce.

TLTR Version:

New Direct Integrations:

Meta Pixel and Google Tag Manager are now available as direct integrations for pages of your site. No more custom code! These are available along with the existing Google Analytics and BDOW integrations in Site Settings. We put them all together under Integrations, which was previously called Third Party. Why have a third party when you can integrate all the parties together in one massive super party? I think that is how that works.

Global Custom Code:

Remember how I talked about no more custom code above? I was kidding. You can still have custom code that can be applied across your site pages. Now you can easily add custom code to a Site Canvas Set. So even though you do not need custom code for Meta Pixel and Google Tag Manager, we have made it easier than ever. Is it a contradiction or serendipity? Maybe both. I suppose you could still use it for Pixel and Tags if you really wanted to, but you no longer have to.

Zoom Controls:

Finally we have Zoom Controls. We have defined preset zoom levels, along with a Fit to Width option! It is now easier than ever to layout your site exactly how you want, or test out different settings to find the perfect one. No word on how this relates to Professor Zoom, the Flash villain who dresses all in yellow. Honestly, that is kind of a pretentious name. What is he even a professor of? Going fast and fighting the Flash, I guess. Is there a governing body for that, or is it self appointed? Do you think he has tenure? I cannot imagine Professor Zoom having to present a research paper or anything of the sort. Which brings me to Doctor Doom. What did he even write his thesis on? Presumably something related to how much he hates the Fantastic Four, but are they really handing out doctorates for that type of research? Is there even research? Batman’s dad was a legitimate medical doctor, but he didn’t make people call him Doctor Batman’s Dad. Probably because he got shot and killed way before Bruce Wayne became Batman. Otherwise he might. Which really blows a hole in the secret identity thing.

We cannot wait for you to get creating with these fantastic new tools! Available now!

Now Preview with Your Blog Content

JT avatar
Shared by JT • October 22, 2024

We're excited to offer better support for our current Showit users who are making updates to their blog template designs. You'll now be able to preview your changes across your entire live site and blog.

This preview option will help give you better confidence for how Wordpress content will render based upon your design changes. Then once the preview looks good you can publish like normal.

A few details about this feature:

  • It's only available once you have a blog on Showit's servers (after migration).
  • You'll find the "Preview with My Blog Content" option on the upper right of the preview screen in the app
  • The preview link will always open to your homepage because blog templates are not actual blog pages...so we default to your homepage.

Instagram Changes Coming

JT avatar
Shared by JT • October 17, 2024

Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) has announced the deprecation of the Instagram Basic Display API, which will officially end on December 4, 2024. This API is currently used by many websites and services to display Instagram feeds including Showit’s Social Grid widget. After this date, Instagram is enforcing new requirements to display an Instagram feed. Instagram is discontinuing support for displaying personal feeds.

Showit users with a Personal Instagram account will need to switch to a Business or Creator account in order to display your feed publicly on your website via the Social Grid widget. You can take steps to convert your personal account to a public Business or Creator account.

This change by Instagram will also require a reauthorization of the account to our Social Grid feature after we have completed API updates and we will announce when Showit user’s can take that action.

What this means for you:

Instagram will only authorize public professional accounts (Business or Creator) for display on the Showit Social Grid widget starting December 4th.

If you wish to continue using Showit’s Social Grid or any Instagram widget on your website it will require converting your account (if it is a personal account) to a public Business or Creator account by December 4th and reauthorizing with Showit.

Your Next Steps:

  1. Ensure you have a public Professional account with Instagram (Business or Creator). Learn more about professional accounts here.
  2. Go to the Showit Account and re-authorize the social grid app
  3. Verify in the Showit Design App that your IG images are still populating

Our team has some updates that continue to refine the experience of using Showit that I’m sure you’ll all enjoy.

Custom Classes

You can now define custom classes on objects so that you can better target your own custom css code. This option is located under the Advanced properties settings for any selected object.

It’s now a breeze to apply the same edge locking settings across multiple objects. You’ll find the setting in a new Position settings section that appears on the properties panel when you select multiple objects.

Multi-Select Layer Locking

You can lock multiple layers at the same time now with the keyboard shortcut CMD/CTRL-L

Scroll Zoom

You can now quickly zoom on the stage by using the keyboard shortcut of CMD/CTRL and SCROLL on your mouse.
