Enhanced file upload: Attach Ai or PDF files directly to cards

In previous versions, you only had the option to enable or disable file attachments to cards. Now, we've enhanced this feature by allowing you to directly upload files in either .ai or .pdf format as attachments to your cards, giving you greater flexibility and control over the files associated with each card.

Use illustrator artboard names as card names

You can now automatically use the names of your Illustrator file’s artboards as card names during uploads, making organization easier and saving you time. Each artboard name will correspond directly to a card name, helping you keep track of your designs effortlessly.

Additionally, you have the option to activate or deactivate this feature according to your preference. This enhancement streamlines your workflow by matching card names with your artboard labels, minimizing the need for manual renaming.
