🎨 New: Logo Sharing in Paint Builder
This week, we added the ability to copy a URL that links directly to one of your My Uploads layers with other Paint Builder users. This is useful for quickly sharing a layer with friends who use Paint Builder!



We’ve also fixed a few bugs related to grouped layers.
🧑🎨 ICYMI: Jason Dakins in the Spotlight
