What's New in ShuttlerockCloud - May Update

May kept the momentum rolling, bringing big upgrades to Canvas and fresh enhancements to scaling. From smoother comparisons to smarter ways to grow your creative, this month was all about refining the experience.

Canvas Upgrades

At this point, we’re not sure if the tech team sleeps - but we are sure they’ve just shipped two solid updates in Canvas that have been top of your wishlist from the get-go.
​

Global player controls on Canvas
​

Canvas now comes with Global Player Controls - so instead of juggling individual play buttons, you can select a bunch of videos and hit play in one go. Here’s how it works:

• Select deliverables by shift + click or dragging your mouse.
• Navigate to the new media control panel across the bottom of Canvas. Loop is ON by default, sound is OFF.
• The duration bar reflects the longest video. Shorter ones will wait and loop back once they’ve all finished.
• Dragged-and-dropped videos? The controls work for them too.

New layout options in Canvas
​

Need to view your deliverables in a way that actually makes sense? Now you can.
​

Want to group by platform? Done. Want to see all your vertical TikTok’s hanging out together? You got it. Need to check consistency across all your Instagram Stories? Easy. Now you’re reviewing apples with apples.

By default, your Canvas still mirrors the order of the side panel, but now there’s a new dropdown (next to metadata options) that lets you rearrange your creative by:

• Concept – Low numbers go first
• Platform – Based on AA priority (FB-IG leads the pack)
• Format – Tallest to shortest, per platform
• Language – English first, then alphabetically
• Duration – Short to long
• Dimension – Smallest area to biggest
• File type – sorted alphabetically i.e. jpg, mp4 then png

Need to reset? Just choose Default to go back to how things were when you landed on the page.
​

This is about less scrolling, more clarity, and far fewer headaches during QA. Reviewing creative side-by-side by attribute means it’s way easier to spot things that are off. That sneaky font-size jump or misaligned CTA isn’t getting past you now.
​

Edit and Duplicate Variations

Scaling creative in ShuttlerockCloud just keeps getting easier. You can now edit and duplicate draft variations directly in ShuttlerockCloud, giving you more flexibility and saving time when refining creative.

Here’s what’s new:
​

Edit draft variations

Need to tweak something before submitting? No problem. You can now:

• Add or remove selected deliverables (including draft formats)
• Change the language
• Rename the variation

A couple of notes:

• Creative with revision comments can’t be removed (delete the comments first if needed).
• Every variation must include at least one piece of creative.

Duplicate draft variations

Want to build on something that already works? You can now duplicate any draft variation (not yet submitted to our design team). This copies over everything like for like, including revision comments — opening straight into edit mode so you can make updates before saving as a new variation.

By default, your duplicate will be named “Original Name copy”, but you can rename it anytime.
