Release Notes – February 3rd 2023

There’s been lots of behind-the-scenes work this week! At the same time, we’re getting in more features and fixes too.

Here are all the changes from this week. You can try them out at beta.tldraw.com.

What’s New

• You can now choose the Draw tool by pressing the [b] or [x] key. Pressing [d] still works too!
• We reduced the size of the tool panel by moving some shapes into a sub-menu.
• You can now copy images and videos between different projects.
• You can now reset the scale of a Text shape by double clicking the edge of its selection box.

Improvements

• You can now share local projects that contain images and videos larger than 1mb.
• Improved loading time for menu icons.
