Dropbox Import/Export & a Reimagined Elements
This week, we added Dropbox import/export, taught FAUNA to read your documents, rebuilt Elements from the editor up, and shipped a wave of canvas-navigation, image-quality, and reliability wins.
📦 New
Elements, redesigned
A rebuilt element editor with grouped categories, reference history, and a new Character medium.
MoreLess
Organize elements by category, revisit references you've used before, and create Character elements — with element mentions and pickers now grouped by category and clearer naming and failure states throughout.
Dropbox import & export
Pull assets straight from Dropbox onto the canvas and send finished work back.
MoreLess
Import from and export to Dropbox with a native folder picker and a recent-destinations shortcut, working across shared workspaces. Joins the existing Google Drive integration.
FAUNA reads your documents
Drop a PDF, Markdown, or text file on the canvas and FAUNA reads it into the conversation.
MoreLess
Ask questions about a brief, a script, or your notes without copy-pasting — FAUNA pulls the file's contents directly into the chat.
@mention references in Inpaint
Pull reference images straight into your inpaint prompts.
MoreLess
@mention other images on your canvas to bring a style or subject from elsewhere in your project into an inpaint edit.
🔐 API & SDK
Direct-bytes asset upload
Upload files directly to the API with SSRF-safe URL fetching and upfront size limits.
MoreLess
A faster, safer upload path for programmatic workflows, with consistent project_id handling across endpoints.
assets.upload()
SDK helper — a one-call helper for uploading assets from the TypeScript SDK.
MoreLess
Skip the manual upload plumbing and move files into your workflows in a single call.
🧠 Improved
Canvas zoom
New zoom controls, fullscreen image zoom with a magnifier indicator, and zoom-to-cursor from the keyboard or HUD make navigating large canvases far smoother.
Keyboard-friendly model dropdown
Enter selects the top result, arrow keys move the highlight, and Escape closes the menu, so you can pick a model without leaving the keyboard.
Clickable links in comments
URLs in comments now render as clickable links.
Sharper fullscreen previews
Images within 150MP are now served at original resolution, with larger images downscaled to a higher cap.
8K video upscaling
The video upscaler output cap is raised to 8192×8192 (Topaz).
Clearer generation errors
Error toasts no longer include internal provider field-path noise, so the message tells you what actually happened.
Inline API key errors
Problems creating an API key now show right where you're working instead of failing silently.
"Import" instead of "Upload"
The add-node menu item is renamed to better match what it does.
🛠 Fixes
Smoother canvas
Fixed flickering and display glitches several of you reported during navigation.
Image nodes hold their shape
Changing the aspect ratio no longer breaks the image node's box.
Inpaint precision
The inpaint brush and crop handles now line up exactly with your cursor.
Consistent batch outputs
Batches no longer come back with mismatched aspect ratios or black bands; auto aspect ratio now resolves correctly.
Multi-image @mentions in Kling
Reverted a change that broke referencing multiple images at once.
FAUNA reliability
FAUNA now recovers the chat after a mid-turn connection drop, no longer strands queued messages, matches @mention node names to the canvas, stops scattering or scrambling nodes on dense canvases, and can rename action nodes.
Techniques
Split Text slots now map to distinct technique outputs.
