We added a "Multi-row" section that lets you create a repeatable pattern of images and text.We built a new mechanism to add sections & apps to your site's header & footer area directly from the online store editor.You can still turn this off if you’d like your images to be bigger. Important: Product images on the Product Page, Featured Product Section, and Quick Buy Modal will now be adjusted by default to fit within the screen's height.
We optimized the logo width to ensure the image looked crisp on all device sizes. We fixed the blog post slides to show a preview of the subsequent slide. We improved the performance of the Multicolumn section by reducing the image sizes being loaded. Section headings now provide more formatting options like bold, italic, and links. The “Follow on Shop” option is enabled by default in the footer. We reordered the "Color scheme" setting to improve hierarchy in the header section. This can happen when manually upgrading to this version. This might result in your heading text being set back to the default value "Talk about your brand". Important: The Richtext section heading type has been changed. You can allow gift cards to be sent to a recipient with a new form on the gift card product page. The Slideshow, Image Banner, and Image with Text sections now have a subtle background animation option, which adds depth and dynamism to the overall design. We added a language and currency switcher to the header section for shops selling in multiple currencies or languages. We've added a new style option to the desktop header menu, allowing you to collapse it into a hamburger icon with a popout drawer for a more compact and streamlined menu experience. We introduced a new "Click and hover" zoom option on desktop for product page images to add a more subtle hover effect. Additionally, you have the option to enable automatic video looping.
You can upload video files directly to Shopify and showcase them in the Video section. You can now incorporate eligible app blocks directly into your header section, to the left of your cart icon.
