6. Quick Add Next Verses

Bible items now offer a quick add feature to show the next verse in a passage without breaking your presentation flow. Your Bible item automatically expands to add an additional verse behind the scenes.

7. Recent Media Filter

A new Recently Used Media filter gives you ready access to media you’ve used in recent presentations. Select any recent media and add it to your current presentation with a click.

8. Smart Media Enhancements

You can now add Smart Media designs to different media types. For example, if a media pack doesn’t include a song media type, you can apply the content media type as Smart Media for your song.

You can also now apply a Smart Media series to multiple items at the same time. This means you can quickly upgrade an entire presentation or service to use a new media series with one click!

9. Precise Styling Customizations

Proclaim now gives you greater precision when styling service items. You can call out specific words with special styling, like italics or an accent color.

You can also now style song service items to italicize a chorus or emphasize a direction.

10. New Open Menu

A new Open menu shows when you open Proclaim to a past presentation. The menu includes a smart list of your presentations, starting with your next upcoming service.
