Here’s where you can expect an improved experience:</p><ul id=""><li id=""><strong id="">Managing elements within a rich text block. </strong>You can now rearrange or delete RTEs directly from the Navigator by clicking and dragging, or through <a href="<https://university.webflow.com/lesson/keyboard-shortcuts?topics=getting-started>" id="">keyboard shortcuts</a>. Plus, all individual RTEs are now displayed in the Navigator for a more streamlined workflow.</li><li id=""><strong id="">Styling individual elements within a rich text block. </strong>Previously, styling individual elements within a Rich Text block required inheriting styles from HTML tags or using a nested selector inside of a class. Now you can do this directly from the Style panel and enjoy more granular design control.</li><li id=""><strong id="">Controlling visibility of RTEs and any element within. </strong>We’ve now unlocked the ability to set conditional visibility for each RTE directly from the Settings panel, so you can show or hide content as it makes sense for your audience. No custom code required.</li></ul><p id="">Visit <a href="<https://university.webflow.com/lesson/rich-text?topics=elements>" id="">Webflow University</a> to learn more and get started.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p>
