What’s New with Connect Cloud

2024

November 2024

Fullscreen Mode

Now, when you deploy an application or document, you can view it in Fullscreen Mode by clicking the icon in the top navigation bar.

This feature opens your content in a new window with a new URL that is free of the Connect Cloud logo and navigation bars, for a clean, distraction-free display.

Fullscreen Mode enhances content sharing by enabling native deep linking and external link redirects for documents, and the use of query parameters for applications.

When you view your portfolio:

  • Clicking a content item title opens an admin view, giving you access to content management controls.
  • Clicking the copy link icon copies the link to the fullscreen version of your content.

When others view your portfolio:

  • Clicking a content item title takes them directly to the fullscreen version of your content.
  • Clicking the copy link icon copies the link to the fullscreen version, allowing for easy sharing to the simplified view.

We hope this new feature makes sharing your work more impactful.
