  • Artboard - How artboard sizing works at runtime.
  • Pen tool - Add docs for updating an existing path
  • Text styles - reworked the page, but didn't change the gifs because the relevant content is still the same
  • Revision history - reworked the page, but didn't change the gifs because the relevant content is still the same
  • Scroll constraint - reworked
  • Exporting for backup - add a big note that you probably want to use another feature
  • Render to video - mostly the same content
  • Events overview - add section for listening for an event to be fired, be extra clear that this is no longer for comms with the runtime
  • Graph editor - add dedicated docs (they were on the interpolation page)
  • Easing - add .riv demo, rewrite page
  • timeline
  • keys
  • clipping
  • Effect groups - make it its own page, add content

🟡 Changes recommended

The heading change breaks an existing list-scrolling link, and the reset-state advice incorrectly extends to bound positions even though it does not remove Data Binding connections.
