Product issues
A new Product issues page under Settings lists the products Depict had trouble with while processing your catalog — images that could not be downloaded, products that could not be indexed, and source data problems — with the message from your platform and when each issue was first and last seen. Filter by status and type, search for a product, and export to CSV. Fix the product in your store and the issue resolves the next time Depict processes it. See Settings.Standard filters are editable
Standard filters such as price, size and color can now be edited like your own filters: change their titles per language, their filter type and who sees them. Only the attribute behind a standard filter stays fixed.Shopify attributes are view-only
For stores on Shopify, the Attributes page now shows which Shopify options, metafields and tags feed each attribute in a read-only table. Attributes can no longer be added or changed there; contact Depict support to change a mapping.Collection display options
The Display menu in the collection editor sets how many cards sit in a row, from 2 to 10 on the desktop layout, alongside card density and which details each card shows. The setting changes only your view in the portal and is remembered per store.Campaigns tab always visible
The Campaigns tab in the collections list is now always shown, so you can create your first campaign from there.Add content and synonyms from their tab
Add content and Add synonym now sit on the Content and Synonyms tabs of the Search page, next to the language menu, instead of in a menu in the page header. Choose a language first: content and synonyms are saved per language.Push product API: category deletes and listing dates
The push product API can now delete categories, once no product or child category references them, and accepts an optionalsource_created_at on
products and product groups. That date drives the “newest” sort. See the
push product API guide.Search
Search opens on Overview
The Search page now opens on Overview for every store, including stores on Depict’s new search engine, so the numbers come first and the settings are one tab away.Analytics
A simpler Analytics page
Four store-wide tiles — Depict revenue, clicks, CTR and catalog sell-through — now sit above the tabs. The Search tab adds unique searchers and a funnel from searches to orders, and the Recommendations tab opens with its own revenue, impressions, CTR and funnel tiles.Pinned vs Auto Lift
Each pinned product now gets its own verdict — Keep pinned, Unpin advised or Needs more data — in the collection’s analytics drawer.Stock Health
A Stock Health view in the analytics drawer lists the collection’s low-stock variants and the products at dead stock risk.Boost Lift and Rule Health
The Boost & Bury page now shows whether your boosted collections out-click the store average, and flags collection rules that have gone stale, bury proven sellers or boost collections nobody sees. See Boost & Bury.New portal
We are improving the portal one area at a time, and improvements reach
stores in stages — so you may see something here before a colleague at another
store does. Nothing you have set up changes: your settings, rules and data
carry across untouched.When an improvement reaches you, the portal marks it with a dot in the
navigation and shows a short note about what is different.
Your dashboard at a glance
Attributed revenue, conversion, average order value and orders across search and recommendations, each opening a daily trend for the period you pick.Recommendations in one place
Surfaces, rules and pinned products sit together, so setting up a placement takes fewer clicks and less hunting. Where recommendation analytics is on, each surface reports its own performance and every KPI tile opens a trend.Recommendation rules, easier to work with
Each rule shows what it applies to, what it pins and what it hides without being opened, so a surface can be read top to bottom. Rules apply in order and drag to reorder. A search box filters them by the product or collection ID they reference, which is how you find the one rule touching a product among dozens. If a new rule contradicts an existing one for shoppers who match both, the conflict is shown with the ways to resolve it before anything is saved.Live preview for recommendations
Pick a product and see the recommendations a shopper would get for it right now, with the products your rules pinned marked as such. Saved rule changes appear within a few minutes. Personalised surfaces need session data before they return anything, and a few surface types cannot be previewed.Pinned products that are out of stock in every market are flagged on the rule itself and counted on the surface, since a pin on an unavailable product is silently doing nothing.Search insights and settings together
Your top queries, the searches that return nothing, and your search configuration now live on the same page — so you can spot a gap and fix it without changing screens. A funnel traces impressions through clicks, add-to-carts and orders.Boost and Bury, easier to work with
Rules are easier to read and reorder, and you can see what each rule is doing to your listings before you save.A faster product catalog
Browsing the whole catalog stays fast however large it is, filters and search are kept in the URL so a view can be shared, and the product drawer collects details, inventory and the collections a product belongs to in one place.Settings, easier to navigate
Users, attributes, filters, markets and tracking are grouped in the sidebar instead of one long page, so each area has room to breathe.Collections
Collections, quicker to work in
Collections now works the same way for every store, with:- Configurable product cards: density, product id, stock, engagement, sales and hover image, remembered per merchant
- A list layout alongside the grid, with drag-to-reorder in both
- Re-nesting, cover images and sub-collection creation from the list itself
- Scroll position and expansion state preserved when you navigate back
- Filters, search and sorting kept in the URL, so a view can be shared
Analytics areas
Search and recommendation analytics
Analytics is switched on per area, so search and recommendation reporting can arrive separately from collection metrics.Search analytics adds KPI tiles to the Search overview, a funnel from impressions through clicks and add-to-carts to orders, per-query trends against the previous period, and decision-support metrics on the products and collections you pin in Start View.Recommendation analytics reports impressions, clicks, CTR, attributed revenue and add-to-carts for every surface, plus average order value, add-to-cart rate and purchase rate — so placements can be compared with each other rather than only counted.Collections
Favourite collections in the sidebar
Star a collection and it appears in the sidebar, so the ones you work on daily are one click away from anywhere in the portal. Drag them to set your own order.Search
Start View for empty search
Start View controls what shoppers see when they open search before typing anything: pin the products and collections you want to lead with, reorder them by dragging, and preview the result as a shopper would see it.- Suggestions drawn from what the empty search would return organically, so you can promote what is already working
- Manual pickers for products and collections outside those suggestions
- Decision-support metrics on every row (views, units sold, visitors, revenue) for merchants with search analytics enabled
- Changes save automatically — there is no save button to forget
Analytics
Export any analytics view to CSV
Export the Analytics page for any period, choosing which blocks to include: overview KPIs, collection highlights, search KPIs, search queries and recommendation surfaces. One row per metric, with the previous period beside it, and the file names its own scope and contents so it still makes sense a month later. Blocks that could not be loaded are recorded in the file rather than silently missing.Recommendation performance per surface
Each recommendation surface now reports average order value, add-to-cart rate and purchase rate alongside impressions, clicks, CTR and attributed revenue — so you can compare placements rather than just totals.Search funnel and click cut-off
The search funnel traces impressions to clicks to add-to-carts to orders for the selected market and period. On collections, the click cut-off names how far down the listing shoppers reach before 95% of clicks are accounted for.Documentation
Shopify theme app docs folded into Headless
The full Shopify theme app documentation now lives under Headless → Storefront integration (Shopify theme app). Old/shopify-guide/ URLs redirect automatically. Release notes for the Shopify theme app appear in this changelog going forward.Analytics hub
