Hey everyone,
We’ve shipped an improvement to the Overlays API that a lot of you have asked for.
What’s changed?
Clicking or swiping outside an open overlay no longer discards unsaved edits. Previously, a stray click outside the selected image would close the overlay and throw away the user’s work, a big pain point for image-editing apps, especially on mobile.
What this means for your app
- Users can’t lose their edits by accident anymore.
- No code changes are needed, this works automatically for all apps using overlays.
- You should still provide clear Save and Cancel buttons in the object panel, so users always know their options.

Thanks to everyone who shared feedback on this one, it made a real difference. Let us know how it goes in your apps!
Cheers,
Matty
