Hide table borders

Borders of tables can be adjusted when you go to Table and select Table properties. The border disappears when you set the width to 0 px, which can be used for example in figure tables.

Record source code

You can get the source code of the record by clicking View and then Source code in the record form. This allows to edit the HTML code or copy the record.

Record source code

The source code uses a relative path to your images, so when using the source code to copy your records, the original images from first record are used. This way, you can for example save some space by not duplicating your images in the storage.

Image viewer

If you want to see an image in full resolution, you can click the button in its upper right corner to open the image viewer. This can be useful when browsing your records, or even to highlight an image when presenting in the fullscreen mode.
