Thanksgiving is around the corner! In this latest roadmap installment, we will share Avada 8.0 progress and the latest Avada milestones with our community.

Following on from the October Roadmap post, our team has been hard at work on the new enhancements for the Avada Live Builder, focusing on control, flexibility, and performance. See some of the highlights below.

This update introduces more freedom in moving Avada Elements across your content hierarchy. Now, you can drag items between different levels without being restricted by Nested Columns. Additionally, the flex-direction of the drag target is now handled automatically, allowing you to drag Elements to the side where they will be displayed.

Finally, dual-directional dragging lets you seamlessly shift Elements between the navigator panel and the Avada Live preview, with automatic scrolling for a smooth experience.

We’ve added versatile zoom controls to the preview to improve your editing perspective. This includes an automatic zoom option that adjusts when the sidebar is opened, keeping the preview in large editing mode even if it usually would trigger a medium breakpoint. You can view your layout exactly as you intend, with minimal interruptions.

With new resizing options, previewing your design across different screen sizes is easier than ever. You can activate editing mode from the Element options or the top toolbar, or simply click and drag to adjust the preview window. The Avada Live Builder will automatically adapt, helping you manage layouts efficiently across a range of widths.

The updated Avada Element UI features a single overlay mask instead of multiple UI components per Element, resulting in a cleaner, more responsive experience. This streamlined approach reduces the Avada Builder UI complexity and improves performance, while also allowing for a preview that more closely resembles the final front-end display.

Our talented design team is constantly working on delivering new Avada pre-built websites and Avada Studio content for your web design toolkit, with more to come.
