Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the difficulty creating hard breaks! That functionality (shift+enter, cmd+enter, or ctrl+enter) should be restored. We're working on some of the remaining feedback and hope to have more updates for you soon.

Thank you very much! But another request: Could we PLEASE have the ability to justify left, right, or CENTER? Thanks!

Two issues I've just noticed.

- Hitting the space button after text with a link on it prolongs the hyperlink instead of breaking it.

- Shift + Enter no longer work at all.

Please fix this, I'm sure you'll notice if you try modifying this very post about the new editor.

Hello, love the new design and it's a lot more user friendly for me now.

About the new "Refer a friend" button: are you implementing inbuilt referral program functionality in to substack?

Looking better. Any plans to allow subscripts and superscripts, and Greek characters, and mathematical symbols?

Please! We need paragraph indents.

And if possible the ability to change the size of plain text for de/emphasis?

We are all accustomed to all of the editing features of a normal word processor. Would be great to have that functionality here!

Well, now we've all got a huge problem. I scheduled my daily letter to my subscribers for 4:30am eastern - as I've been doing for weeks. And NOTHING. No delivery. I went in and re-published it by hand. NO DELIVERY AGAIN. I've got thousands of paying customers NOT receiving what they expect. THIS UPGRADE IS A FAILURE in every possible way. I know it is early in California, but we've got a huge problem here. And this upgrade should go in the trash immediately and the former editing and delivery program restored ASAP. I've been with you for a long time - and am a Substack fellow. My experience with you all has been professional and first-rate. Until 12 hours ago when literally everything flew through the floor. Don't just pass these comments on. FIX THE PROBLEMS now.

I am enjoying the included images with the editor. Now I do not have to go to Pixabay and save an image to my pc to use. Thanks for the new resource!

Just to pile on, you REALLY need to restore shift + enter!

Suddenly the tool bar is stuck at the top of the page again. This happened before but then it returned to floating mode. Is this controlled in settings somewhere? Please tell me it's not permanently affixed there.

Hey, can I make one request for substack. In Dashboard, under scheduled posts, I wish the forthcoming posts also listed the Day of the Week that the posts is scheduled to come out on, not just the date and time.
