Kate - I am not sure how Auto Fit works. Can you give us some examples and maybe a short tutorial?

Perhaps this helps: http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/auto-fit/

Yeah, I read through that twice. But for me something is missing. There is a final step missing.

OK. I kind of see what Fit To Page does. I am not sure I would ever use this for social media, but it is an improvement when you create a variant in that the objects are resized to the new variant page.

I don't think it will work like this -- yet -- because the Auto Fit and Create Variant commands are not yet integrated. When you do Auto Fit, you don't have the Live Copy links; and when you do the Create Variant, you don't have the contents fitted to the variant page.

I tried it and it kind of works.

[Boy]

Now you can make a tutorial!

I tried it and it kind of works.

Gary I think you're right, the new auto-fit feature will help with creating mobile variants. But I suggest you select 'Auto Fit All Objects' and check the 'width' option in the Auto Fit dialog before creating the variants.

For social media it works really well if, for example, you want to adapt your Facebook post for a post on one or all of the other social media sites, or Cover to Cover, Profile to Profile etc.
