The last day of February was the day we had marked in our calendars months in advance. Because that day we reached another milestone — UXPin Merge entered its beta phase! Apart from that, this month we’ve really gone the extra mile and brought to you numerous enhancements and fixes.
UXPin Merge closed beta
Last week, we bid adieu to the UXPin Merge alpha and moved on to the closed UXPin Merge beta! As we’re getting for the release, we’re testing Merge with some great companies — so if you’re up to it, join now! Invite your team to import, keep in sync and use your coded React.js components in UXPin to see your designs the way your users will.
A design tool that can access *production* React.js code and import *interactive* components? 🤯
Done. 👋 upcoming @uxpin Merge 🔥.

New
You can now set corner radius and image fill to Pen tool shapes.
We’ve also listened to your feedback and here it is — you can now unpin design system libraries and the layers panel from the left side of the UXPin Editor, position them anywhere on the screen or pin to its right side. It’s also possible to change the width and height of panels by dragging one of their corners.
You can now customize the UXPin editor’s #UI and unpin #designsystems libraries and layers! Place them anywhere or pin to either side. Try it yourself: https://t.co/83MvhZhttv #designtool pic.twitter.com/Dga3j0Hi9Z
