Creating stories just got faster and more flexible with TSS Release 2, as this release includes features like:
Asset visibility during story composing - Assets are now visible outside screen boundaries
This means less manual work, full consistency, and smarter storytelling!
Tip: For the best experience, we recommend using Chrome to ensure all features are fully supported.
Automatic content scaling strategies - Choose how your scenes scale
When reusing content and the screen dimensions or ratios don’t match — whether you will reuse it by duplicating a story, using a saved scene, or simply copy/pasting the scene — you’ll now be asked how you want your content to scale.
You’ll get a pop-up with two options:
Scale to fit
Resize the scene to fit within the new screen dimensions.
Crop
Keep the original scale and crop the parts that don't fit.
The pop-up to pick your scaling strategy only appears when duplicating stories, copy/pasting scenes and using saved scenes when the screen ratios differ.
If the setups match, your scene will be added without asking (no extra steps needed!).
This gives you full control over how your scenes are shown across different setups.
Scaling of backgrounds and transitions
When you reuse a scene with a background and/or transition they are automatically scaled and centered using a smart strategy:
If the screen ratios are the same:
➔ The background and transition are scaled to fill the screen while keeping their relative position.If the screen ratios are different:
➔ The background and transition are scaled to fill the new screen and centered, so everything stays neat and balanced.
So no more manual repositioning needed — saving you time and keeping your stories looking great across all setups!
Copy/Paste:
You can now copy and paste both assets and scenes across different stories — making it easier than ever to reuse content between stories, you don't even need to save the scene first.
When you are copy/pasting your scene to a different story, you'll get the choice to apply one of the two new automatic content scaling strategies scale to fit or crop.
Learn more about scaling strategies here.
Use familiar keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C and Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) or right-click to access the new Copy and Paste options in the scene menu.
Reuse Saved Scenes across setups
You can now add a saved scene to any story — no matter which setup it was originally created in!
Whether the properties, dimensions, or number of screens are different, you can still bring your saved scenes into your current story.
See the updated information on Saved Scenes to learn more.
When you add a saved scene, you’ll also get the choice to apply one of the two new automatic content scaling strategies scale to fit or crop.

Quick note:
We cleaned up the naming for clarity. What we used to sometimes call "existing scenes" are now consistently called Saved Scenes.
You’ll find all your saved scenes under My Scenes in the composer.
Duplicating stories - Smarter, simpler, and safer
Duplicating a story to a different setup just got better!
We renamed "Cloning stories" to "Duplicating stories" — clearer and more intuitive.
The duplicate story modal has been simplified for a smoother experience.
When duplicating a story to a setup , you now select a content scaling strategy to control how your content fits the new setup.
If your duplicated story or inserted saved scene contains trigger actions that aren't available in the new setup, they are automatically removed.
➔ This prevents confusion and ensures you only see triggers that actually work.
See the updated information on duplicating stories here.
Asset visibility - See what’s outside the canvas (and keep track of it)
When you're working on complex stories — especially with multi-screen setups and different scaling strategies — it’s easy to lose track of assets that accidentally fall outside the visible canvas.
To make things easier, assets that fall outside your active screen’s canvas are now clearly shown.
Why this matters:
You instantly see if an asset is (partly) outside the visible area.
This helps you avoid accidentally placing assets where your audience won’t see them.
It’s especially useful when working with the new scaling strategies, where asset placement can shift depending on your setup.
Now, nothing goes unnoticed — and you stay in control of your composition.
Other changes:
We improved the drag behavior for multi-screen setups to feel more smooth and natural, so you'll notice a more accurate placement on the intended screen and better feedback as you drag.
It’s a small tweak with a big usability win — especially in multi-screen setups.We have improved the quality of thumbnail images in Compose, both in the media list and and the canvas, so it's much easier to visualize what your story looks like in the setup, because they are less pixelated.
Update: Known issue with scene reuse
Since the deployment of TSS Release 2, we’ve identified an issue affecting the reuse of scenes. When duplicating, copy/pasting, or using a saved scene that was created before Release 2, the new scaling pop-up appears as expected. However, selecting a scaling option currently has no effect.
This issue has been prioritized and will be resolved in TSS Release 3, which is tentatively planned for mid-August. A formal announcement will follow at least two weeks prior to the deployment.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work on this fix.
Update: TSS Release 3 has been announced for the weekend of 9 - 10 August and will include a fix for this issue.
Up next
Want to see what’s coming? Check out our roadmap to explore what we’re working and what is up next. Currently our focus is on playing audio, (background) videos, and transitions in the Preview. This means you can confidently check timing, transitions, and media playback before ever hitting Play on the setup — giving you more control, fewer surprises, and less time spent testing.
