The ability for a buyer or sales agent to edit a product bundle directly from the mini-cart has now been added. Previously, if a change had to be made the bundle had to be deleted from the cart and added again. This allows for more speedy alterations to be made before proceeding with check out.

New extension point allows for external custom rules to be written to determine what SKU's can be linked to a product as Options. This is limited to dynamic pricing scenarios. Discounts can still be created to discount specific product combinations.

Sell and manage SKUs by adding different Units of Measure to the SKU. Configure the Unit of Measure to optionally allow for sales in decimal quantities. Units of Measure have their own pricing and inventory. Once configured, they add to the shopping experience of the buyer who can now purchase SKUs in different Units of measure.

Reducing downtime, improving operational and resource utilization efficiency with the new Concurrent and Sync reindex execution modes providing high-availability in search capabilities while the operation is running.

We have created a new application that helps developers to build APIs based on custom Objects in a Low Code/No Code UI. This new feature allows users to define the whole structure of the API, from the endpoint’s name to the data model of the request and response schemas.

And, because the persistence layer of the API Builder is Objects, all capabilities are available at the API layer and every object has its own CRUD API application created by default.

So, from the UI or from the API, now users can create custom API Applications from scratch.

The scope of this beta feature only covers the creation of GET methods to retrieve a collection of elements with the possibility of creating pre filters and sorts.

Now admins can define the default sorting for a dataset view. You can select the field to sort by when users access the page with the data set view as well as the direction (ascending or descending). It is possible to add more than one field. In this case, results will be sorted following the order of the fields, so it will start sorting based on the first field, for elements with the same value for that field, it will continue sorting based on the second field and so on.

Admins now can define views and select fields that are localized, so users will access the corresponding translation when visiting the page. Additionally, the names of the columns and filters are also localizable.

In order to use this feature it is needed to enable “Translation Support for Object Entries” in the Feature Flags menu before enabling “Data Set Manager” in the beta section of the Feature Flags menu.

Admins can define filters to make them available for end users visiting pages with the dataset fragment. There are 3 types of filters available:

• Date filters: compatible with fields of type date. Admins can provide a name to the filter as well as provide a “From” and “To” dates to be pre-applied if needed.
• Selection filters: This filter allows admins to configure a picklist as the source of the options for the filter.
• Client extension: This new client extension enables admins and developers to fully customize the filter experience and add new types of filters depending on their needs.

• In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.

Apart from exposing information in tables, with the Data Set Manager now admins will be able to define actions linked to each of the elements of the data set. For each action:

• Admins can provide a localized label
• Choose the icon to be used
• Provide the URL to redirect the user to. In case you need to parametrize it so each row has a different URL, you can do it by adding it between brackets as part of the URL, for example myURL/{id}/editPage will look for “id” in the Headless response and substitute for the corresponding value in the URL.
• With “Headless Action Key” admins can associate an action to a headless endpoint, which takes permissions into account, so the action will only be shown to the user if the corresponding headless action is present in the response. For example, you can link an “edit” action to the “update” Headless Key.
• Provide an optional Confirmation Message if needed.

• In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.

With the Data Migration Center, users can export and import, in a very easy way, Objects entries and Objects definitions from one instance to another using JSON files. The actions executed can be consulted later in a list when you can download the files generated every time is needed.

Now we prevent content creators from generating page conflicts and errors by automatically locking pages when they are opened in Edit Mode, not allowing other users edit it at the same time. Beside that, a recurrent process reviews all locked pages to unblock them automatically if no activity is registered. Administrators can also unlock them manually if it’s needed.

The old import modal for Fragments and Page Templates is substituted by a new special import page, a new page with the import outcomes is added with the results of the process and last, but not least, the user is provided more import options for a better management of the already existing files: Overwrite Existing Entries, Overwrite Existing Items, Keep Both. A WARNINGS label is added as well to the fragments that were imported with warnings and that could cause malfunctions.

In the portal, Site Administrators are able to create different User Experiences for Pages. Publications can publish these Experiences. However it can be confusing for Publication Reviewers that they can not review changes introduced in all the Experiences, which are going to be published. Here we added the ability to Publication Reviewers to view changes added in all the Experiences which are going to be published.

We have received multiple requests about users having difficulties resolving conflicts during a Publication process. We listened for these requests, and decided to improve the quality of feedback provided to users about conflicts. Making the resolution of these conflicts easier.

Some applications do not support Publications. That situation can be really confusing when users try to use one of these applications, while inside a publication, and expect it to work together with Publications. We are aiming to make the user experience of the portal during publication as smooth as possible, so we decided to add a mechanism which provides the users with information if they start using one of these apps.

Improving performance is one of the main elements in our product strategy. Here we worked on improving the performance of the Review Changes screen. We have already improved the performance of other screens, and in the future we keep improving the performance of the screens.

Although Analytics Cloud provides valuable insights into the performance of content and pages, sharing this information within an organization has proven difficult for some users. To solve this problem, we are introducing a new feature that aims to enhance your sharing and reporting capabilities. With this feature, you can now effortlessly download PDFs of your dashboards and CSVs of lists (eg. segment membership), making it easier than ever to share critical insights with your stakeholders.

Key Benefits:

1. Time and Effort Savings: Exporting your dashboards to PDF and lists to CSV is a breeze. Say goodbye to the time-consuming task of manually extracting this information and formatting. Our platform streamlines the process for you.

2. Professional Reports: The PDF export feature ensures that your insights are presented in a polished and professional format, perfect for sharing with executives, clients, and colleagues.

To use this feature, simply click on the new Download button in the top right navigation bar. From there you can select the date range for the dashboards as well as the specific cards you wish to include in your report.
