Welcome back to Monday! 🙌

Here’s a rundown of what’s been happening at Glide over the last week.

* * *

## Preview: Note component 📝

The new [Note component](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/components/note) lets you add a visual WYSIWYG text editor to your apps. It includes a rich set of formatting options for headings, lists, and more. Note data is stored in a text column using markdown.

[Learn more about the new Note component in our docs.](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/components/note)

## Glide Thrive: New event series for Experts 🌟

Join @Brett, Glide’s Head of Experts, for this new event series showing you how to level up your no-code agency. We’ll unpack Expert-specific topics like closing better deals and managing clients.

[RSVP for our first Thrive session this Wednesday, July 19th.](https://lu.ma/frcwb3ix) We’re talking about using AI to meet your clients’ needs and fuel your agency’s growth.

## Showcase: Turn your Glide data into PDFs 📑

[DocsAutomator](https://docsautomator.co/) is a [popular Glide integration](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/integrations/docsautomator) that lets you turn Glide data into PDFs. @Rupert, the founder of DocsAutomator, has been active here in the forum, [sharing demos](https://community.glideapps.com/t/turn-your-glide-data-into-pdfs-native-docsautomator-integration/59849) and answering questions. Go say hi!

## Community Challenge: Glide + AI 🤖🧠

Our latest challenge invites you to share [how you’re using AI in your Glide apps](https://community.glideapps.com/t/community-challenge-ai-in-your-apps/63783/17).

The deadline is this Friday, so you still have some time to get your entries in.

## Shipped: New Glide features & bug fixes 🚢

New:

- More control over which of your users can access Add Comment.

Fixed:

- Empty inline comments component taking up too much space.
- Forcing row owners into owned rows from the Data Editor. Before, if you added a new row into a table with row owners but didn’t set the row owner, Glide set the “view as” user into all row columns.
- Choice component not showing options. In some instances, the choice component was not showing if the options table was different than the current table.

* * *

That’s it for today. Have a great week! ☕

Is it possible to add the option to center wording in the notes component?

</div>

I just tried this component, see image below:

But it just shows up as a text field and none of the markdown functions are appearing. Did I miss something?

</div>

If you try to edit the text inside of it, it should show the formatting options.

Is the component inside of a container by chance?

When i edited, nothing appeared and yes, it’s inside a container.

No, it still doesn’t work after taking it out of the container

Hmmm, I know in the past I’ve seen it intermittently work correctly based on if it was in a container, or in mobile view, or some other reason. Hard to say if it’s still a bug. I’ll have to check later, but I feel like it’s better writing better than when it was originally released. I haven’t used it much yet.

Have you written any text inside the component?
