Copy animation settings
If you need to apply the same animation effects from widget to another use the Shift + Cmd + C / Shift + Cmd + V key combinations.

Animate widgets simultaneously
Select multiple widgets with Shift + Click, then proceed with Animation control as usual. All changes will be applied to each widget in your selection. If you select a mix of animated and non-animated widgets you’ll be prompted to merge different animations, so that each selected widget has identical attributes applied.
Check distance between widgets
When you move a widget, Readymag highlights the distance between it and other snapped widgets. Just switch on both the Sizes and Snap features to check it out.

Keep distance consistent when copying widgets
You can easily copy any widget multiple times with a set distance (say, for an image gallery). Simply copy the desired widget with Option / Alt + Drag and set the distance between the original widget and first duplicate. Then copy again, as many times as necessary—the distance will remain constant.
Move multiple pages
With our recent redesign of the Pages menu, you can now switch between project pages without leaving the editor space. You can also move multiple pages at once: use Shift to select a range or Alt / Option to choose only the pages you need. The updated menu also allows you to publish projects directly from Preview mode.
