Shogun has introduced numerous feature improvements over the years, refining existing elements in various areas.

When an element has an upgraded version, you will notice an icon in the layout panel and at the top of the element sidebar on the right. This icon indicates that an element currently on your page has an enhanced version available.

Older elements aren't upgraded automatically, and deleting one also deletes its content and settings. To keep your content, build the new element alongside the old one first:

1. Add the current element

Drag the same element from the Elements panel and drop it next to the old one. Elements added from the panel are always the current version.

2. Move your content across

Drag elements from the old one into the new one by their move handle, or copy and paste text. Then set up the new element's settings.

3. Delete the old element

Check the page in Preview, delete the old element, then save and publish.

Our Slider, Text and Image elements all have current versions.

The current Slider element offers an expanded set of controls that allow you to position the slider dots more accurately, resize the arrows, and have more than one slide per page. You can also customize the slider's transition between slide and loop functions, which was not offered in legacy versions of the same element. See Create scrolling sections with the Slider Element.

The current Text element does away with the floating controls box and instead places all the controls in the sidebar to not obstruct the editor's view of the canvas. See Adding text with the Text Element.

The current Image element groups its controls into Main, Performance and Dimensions sections in the sidebar, with image quality and loading options, aspect ratios with image position and zoom, hover images, and alt text that's stored with the image in your Media Library. See How to add images using the Image Element.
