Flexible Layouts
The Briefings app now fully support flexible layouts created in the Briefing Builder. These layouts allow you to combine text, maps, images, and many more—so you can present multiple types of content in one cohesive slide.
360° Images Exploration
You can now view 360° images in the Briefings app. These images are marked with a 360° image icon in the lower-left corner. The 360° image viewer allows exploration of the image by clicking and dragging to zoom and pan, or via finger gestures (for touch devices).
The video below shows an example of 360° Image interaction on a Windows desktop device.
Multi-Series Charts
In this release, we support for multi-series bar, column, and line charts, in addition to the single-series charts support that we introduced in version 1.8.4. If you’ve customized axis values in the Briefing Builder, those updates will now honor in the app—ensuring your visualizations stay true to your data.
The video below shows an example of different types of multi-series charts supported in the Briefings app.
