Customize Rich Text Editors Configurations through Client Extensions Platform
Now, admins can customize the configuration of the Rich Text Editors with this new client extension, allowing them to set the toolbars that are available on different applications. In the form, you will have to define the instances in which the configuration will be taken into account as well as the JS that contains the configuration:
Limitations: If a policy like the one above is configured, the parts of the product that uses a rich-text editor will not work correctly. Analyze your scenario to identify how strict your policy can be in order to make the solution work.
Previously customers would add captchas using a TagLib. But this is no longer useful since customers are not deploying JSPs. The Captcha API enables this functionality to be used in arbitrary contexts.
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.
Allow clients to request a quote for individual products instead of setting a price. Includes the option to use a Price List or a Promotion to price the Product as "Price on Application". There is also the ability to activate the "Request a quote" option on a fully priced cart for a particular channel.
New Account Type of Supplier. A Supplier can be linked to a catalog and to a channel to allow the supplier manage their own products, price lists, promotions, catalogs, discounts, inventory and channel in order to be able to fulfill orders for their own products.
Used in Conjunction with Supplier Accounts, this object's rule, once configured, splits Commerce Orders automatically by the Catalog that each Product belongs to. The Channel on the Order is updated to be the channel linked to the same supplier that the catalog is linked to. The order splitting rule effectively allows the supplier to manage orders for their own specific products.
A new set of tooling is being provided, to centralize all the different tooling into a single solution, therefore, stand-alone tooling like the Fragments Toolkit does not make sense anymore as a stand-alone tool. In addition to that, the fragment toolkit needed upgrades to prevent some vulnerabilities that could happen. Therefore, we recommend adopting other solutions for now. The Fragment Toolkit will remain available for a minimum of one year.

Richer Data Management experiences with the possibility to update Object entries from Display Pages Sites
Aiming to provide a better way to manage Object entries, now Display Pagesallow the creation of Object Edit experiences, using Forms Container and Fragments.
When using a Form Container in a Display Page, submitting it will now update the object entry being displayed.
This, combined with the possibility to use multiple display pages at the same time, and the new “Save as Draft” option for objects, enable a whole new set of possibilities for customers, such as creating multi-step processes out of the box.
Flexibility to work with multiple Display Page Templates for the same entity at the same time Sites
Now, if an asset type (for example, an Object definition) has several related Display Page Templates, and one of them is marked as Default, we allow to map links to any of the existing Display Page Templates for that Asset Type, in addition to the Default one.
This new possibility allows some interesting use cases for customers, such as:
Differentiated View Display Page and Edit Display Page for Object entries.
Multi-step processes (that need different step URLs) can be now created by using one Display Page per step.
Easier performance debugging with new tool to prevent performance issues in content pages Sites
Now the users can easily identify components that may cause performance issues in their Pages.
We have added a new tab on the Page Audit to show the users the back-endrender times of the different components, as well as warnings to help identify specific components configurations that may lead to performance issues. Those warnings also appear on the Edit mode, so the user is aware of possible issues during the page creation.
Sometimes the changes added to a publication needs to be reviewed by someone who is not a member of the site. The goal here was to make unauthenticated users able to review changes within a publication. For this we implemented a mechanism to generate a code, which can be used to access the Review Changes screen of a certain publication. Also this link could be easily invalidated/generated anytime by authenticated Publication Reviewers.
Allow users to move changes between Publications Sites
The goal here is to make the users able to move changes between publications. This is needed because sometimes users do not want to publish an entire publication, but also do not want to revert the changes which will not be published actually. With this feature users can move changes from one publication to another, creating subsets of changes, and publish them separately. For readers with technical knowledge: this is similar to cherry-pick-ing a commit in git from one branch to another.
Ability to declare a winner for terminated AB Tests Personalization
A common problem we have heard from our customers revolves around the time required to complete an AB Test. If a customer’s page receives limited traffic, the time to completion could be many weeks if not months. Amidst the rapid changes in today's business landscape, this delay potentially negates the usefulness of test results. On top of this, if a user were to terminate the test prematurely, the insights they gathered from the test and the variant they created were lost.
In order to remedy this issue, we are now providing test results and the ability to publish a variant when an AB Test is terminated. Although these results cannot determine a winning variant with 100% confidence, they will give marketers a sense of how their variant was performing. Using this information, Marketers can now make educated decisions according to their specific time constraints.
It is important to remark that this feature is DXP-only, as it belongs to Analytics Cloud.
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.
Support for Collection Provider in option values Commerce
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.
