Improvements & Resolved Issues

Merchandising Studio & Preview Pages

[Improved] The information panel listing applied modifications is now collapsed as standard in Preview Pages.

[Improved] Updated icons with an improved resolution in the Merchandising Studio & Preview Pages.

[Fixed] When editing an entity to add a category within a 'current item' category trigger, the entity wasn't being saved correctly consistently.

[Fixed] Dropdown panels in Preview Pages were collapsing inconsistently after a selection was made.

[Fixed] The variant selector pop-up panel no longer cuts off when multiple selections are available.

[Fixed] The list of attributes shown when hovering over an item within the Visual Merchandising screen (via a list of modifications) now uses a scrollbar to show all relevant attributes.

Visual Merchandising Interface

[Fixed] A Result Modification can contain products that do not exist in the current location; these items do not show. Due to this, applying the Result Modification would cause existing items in the current location to be placed incorrectly when dragged into position.

[Fixed] Modifications attempted to move products beyond the end of the page.

[Fixed] Multiple thumbnails would show when dragging an item with multiple color variants while using the Variant Selector.

Search and Navigation

[Fixed] A log error when an invalid query was sent to FAS.

[Fixed] Result Modifications caching was causing lag between publishing and visualization on Preview Pages.

Indexing
