Embed URL Block

Loree editor now has a new feature for embedding iframes by just drag and drop with option ‘Embed Google docs’ under Content blocks in the Designer option (toolbar). Drag and drop the Embed Google docs to set the google docs, word docs, or any iframes and embed the frame via Loree editor and visible/learn in Canvas LMS.

Under Content Blocks,

Drag and drop Embed URL block,

Embed iframe in Embed URL section and change height of the frame based on the need,

Click Embed, you can see the iframe embedded in Loree editor and save to see in Canvas,

Source Format Block

Loree editor now has a new feature for copy and paste any kind of context or table (table from google docs, word doc, and PowerPoint) inside Loree just by drag and drop “Source Format” and paste the content you copied, It will be reflecting the content same as you copied like the color of the font, font style, table, etc in Loree editor and in Canvas. Source Format blocks accept tables from google docs, word doc, etc.

Source Format block under Content Blocks,

Drag and Drop into Loree editor,

Copy from google docs or any other docs or page, Example here coping content from google docs,

In Canvas, the pasted and saved content,

In Loree editor, when pasting table in Source Format,

Note: Content pasted inside Source Format won’t get the dotted lines (View component style) initially when pasted the content, Once update the content via Edit code or saving the page and coming back to Loree will show up the dotted lines (View component style).

Performance improvement

Fetch Custom Blocks (Backend)

Loree has enhanced the load time to make user friendly and which consumes less time, Here, Custom Blocks will be hitting its API for each time when we open custom blocks section which may cost your time, now this time is reduced and custom blocks will be in no time after the very first API call. As a result, It will reduce 1.2 seconds of every custom blocks load time.

Note: Backend - It won’t be visible for the users, but worked on the product codebases to reflect changes for features.

Removed Quick Links section for outer wrapper content in Loree editor

In Loree editor, we have a Quick Links section to make and link the file, pages from Canvas, this quick links section will be useful for the contents inside Loree editor and not for the outer wrapper content, which may cost some load time and it is removed now to reduce the unnecessary cost of time for Quick links.

Added some images for reference and to make point clear,
