What’s new in Hatch

Pro users can now restore projects to earlier states using the Versions feature. Just head to 'my projects', open the project menu by clicking the kebab icon on a thumbnail, then select 'versions' to see snapshots of your project through time.

The marquee slideshow automatically scrolls images in a continuous loop. Choose between horizontal or vertical orientation, set the speed, direction, and adjust the gap between images. Like all our slideshows, the marquee supports both images and videos.

Add gradient color to the foreground or background of any element using the Gradient Effect. Choose between linear and radial options. Adjust the opacity of each color with the fade slider in the color picker to create an overlay effect.

Create links that scroll to specific elements with SCROLL TO: Anchor links. Easily choose between an animated scroll or instantaneous jump.

Add an outline or stroke to text with the Text Outline effect.

1. select a textbox
2. find Effects in the inspector on the right
3. click the ➕ button to add an effect
4. select "Text Outline" from the list

Publish now includes a section for SEO and Analytics.

Click 'more settings' to:

• Help search engines rank your site by adding a page title and description.
• Add Google Analytics for traffic insights.
• Allow search engines to index your site ...or prevent them from doing so if you prefer not to appear in search results.

Whether you're forming a secret society, setting up a speakeasy, or simply wish to share discreetly without broadcasting to everyone, adding a password to your project creates a barrier between your content and the wider world.

If you want the element underneath something to receive the click, select the top element, open the 'advanced' settings, and toggle off 'pointer events.'

The pointer (mouse, finger, etc.) will act as if the top element isn't there, enabling interaction with the element beneath, including clicking, hovering, and dragging.

Containers let you keep elements together. They're useful for animations, working with layouts, and organization.

Creating containers and adding things to them just got super simple. Just select the items you want in the same container and click the "contain" icon in the object toolbar.

As your project's list of elements expands, you may find yourself searching for specific items on the page. Now, simply clicking the crosshairs icon next to the item in the Object panel will automatically center the view on that component.
