We've got some more exciting news for this latest update in our more frequent release cycle at Magma. Let's dive right in…
Increased limits for Spark users
We’ve made a few more perks available to our free/Spark users! As mentioned in our previous release post, we’re testing out ads as way to make some previously paywalled features available for everyone. That also means some new things are on the way for the paid plan. More on that later down the line, but for now:
Reference Window is now free
While it’s easy enough to just paste reference onto your canvas, it’s a whole lot nicer to have a dedicated floating window for it. We’ve now made the Reference Window in your View menu fully unlocked for all users. You can import images from your device, add from your clipboard, or even use other canvases of yours in this window. See more about how to use it in our Reference Window user guide.

No caller limit for Spark
When we updated some UI elements, we unintentionally removed a known bug that allowed more than two users on canvas voice call. We’re not changing the UI back but instead removing the limit for Spark callers altogether. When running public canvases and Art Jams, keep in mind that you can adjust permissions in your Admin menu for who can access the call feature based on the role they have assigned.

Chinese fonts added

We’ve been seeing significantly more Chinese users on the platform, so as part of a localization effort, we’ve also added some Chinese fonts for our Text Tool. There’s also the option to set your Magma language to Chinese Simplified in your account settings. We hope this makes using our platform and communicating with each other much easier. 在Magma上画画玩得开心哦!
