In this major Flex Templates release, we are making several behind-the-scenes updates to support upcoming products. In addition, we have a new "max width" setting that will make your site a little wider on large monitors, providing more space for content and advertising.
NEW FEATURES
New functionality has been added to the user dashboard that gives business owners control over Storefront functionality. Previously, these options could only be performed by an admin user, causing newsrooms to take time to make adjustments for individual businesses. (FLEXBLOX-3520)
A new max width setting has been added that allows you to change the horizontal size of the maximum width of the web page. By default it is 1200, and we've now added support for 1396 pixels (1366 without padding). The larger width setting is a great way to be able to offer additional room for content when available, but will still be responsive to the device size. Note: if you use background or wallpaper ads, there are fewer situations where they will be visible if you enable this setting. (FLEXBLOX-3707)
The "Video: Continue watching" is a beta block with premium video functionality that will be fully released soon. (FLEXBLOX-7521)
Due to a change with how Google interfaces with 3rd parties, Lotame user audiences must be automatically passed along with the ad call. This experimental release restores the ability to pass those audiences along. This will be made available to the general audience once it has been fully tested. (FLEXBLOX-7562)
