Studio

Overview​

With this release we added new trial functionality for Shopify users who add the app to their store. We also shipped a new editor header as well as an in-app help panel.

Banner Features​

Unlimited Free Trials

As of today, new accounts through Shopify will start on a free trial plan that will last 14 days. Users on the free trial have access to all Unstack Landing page features. At the end of the trial, users are forced to choose a plan even if it means that they choose the Free plan in order to continue using Unstack.

New Editor Header & Publish Button

With this release we also add a new header for our page editor. This includes new preview & publish buttons. The new header makes the publish button more prominent removing the need for a second publish button. The hope is that the prominence will help improve publish rates.

Unstack University Help Panel

Along with the above-mentioned header changes we also shipped a new help panel for Unstack. This panel includes the chat widget that connects users to our Support team and also contains many help videos for getting started with the tool. Expect some more updates on this panel in the coming weeks.

Overview​

This was a huge release for us and broke (again!) the record for most number of shipped items in a release (previously held by Release 143. Highlights include improvements to Shopify product syncing, updated callouts components, and better handling of bad components in the editor. Also, a ton of bug fixes.

Banner Features​

Better Shopify Sync

In this release, we’ve added support for Shopify webhooks which should remove the delay between making changes to products and sync. Webhooks allow Unstack to receive notifications from Shopify when products change and update the product immediately.

We also introduced an improvement to syncing media on the initial sync so that media will be synced as needed rather than delaying the initial sync. Importing media takes a lot of time, so doing this as needed should make the initial sync go faster.

Updated Callouts component

Following the changes we made to the media component in a previous release, the callouts component has also been updated to follow similar conventions.

All in all 7 components have been combined into two callouts components: icons and images. The new components allow you to adjust the number of columns on desktop and have styles for Cards and 3D Cards. Image cropping and icon size are also adjustable.

Deprecating older components

With the recent work on the media and callouts components, we can now deprecate 11 components that are no longer needed. All of the functionality in these components is available in our new updated components.

Going forward any component that has been deprecated will have a "Deprecated" badge in the editor and they will not show up as components that you can add to pages. This will ensure that sites continue to operate as expected, while also ensuring that new users aren’t overwhelmed by too many versions of the same component.

Better error handling for bad components

We've made improvements to the instances where poorly-implemented components crash. Now you'll see error messages for individual components when they fail to render in the editor and you can now delete them if you want to start over.

The aim here was to make it easier to identify and repair pages where components fail to render. Previously, the entire editor might crash when issues like these arose.

Overview​

Banner Features​

Improved Embedded app Start Screen

Previously, when a user first adds the Unstack App to their Shopify account they were taken a very minimalistic channel settings page that, at it's core, served as a way for users to open Unstack.

That said, we realized this page could be much more which led to the below changes; specifically the ability to access both your page templates and branding options from this page.

Our hope is here that these changes should help our users make more progress on their goals, with fewer clicks.

As part of our ongoing efforts to understand the reasons our users sign up for Unstack in the first place, we have added a popup question that appears when you first install the Shopify app

We shipped some pretty significant changes to the component system that will enable future functionality. More on that soon! We also fixed one bug.

Complete List of Released Items​

• Component system improvements
• Fixed an issue where the landing page editor would sometimes crash when removing a product from a section

Overview​

A small release with a handful of bug fixes and tweaks. Several new features in the works including Component Properties which is a set of changes to the section/component experience which will help to reduce redundancies with our current component experience. More on this when it's released in the coming weeks.

Banner Features​

Recategorized Components

We spent some time reorganizing renaming components to make it easier to find what you are looking for in the component selector. We also added thumbnails for some of the components that didn’t have them. There is more work to come on this to make it even better, but it’s already easier to find some things.

Template Updates

We rolled out an update to allow our backend teams to more-easily launch the templates that they've been working on. This includes changes to way we generate screenshots of these templates as well as the way that we add them to accounts.

View all of our templates!

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Rolled out a change to the way our components are categorized to make it easier to navigate.
• Added support for keyboard handling to dropdowns when setting conditions.
• Fixed a bug where the image of a variant wasn't updating when the variant was selected.
• Adjusted the default state of box width to display "auto" instead of "none" .
• Rolled out changes to our template screenshots to reduce file sizes and speed up the page.
• Improved the handling speed of several backend jobs.
• Adjusted all of the links used in the app to use a URL that lets our product, support, and marketing teams make rapid changes to them.
• Fixed a bug with the image callouts component where the first icon in the section would be misaligned vertically.
• Fixed a bug where the dynamic content would sometimes handle the "or" operator (the pipe character "|") incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug where some users would get a 500 error when "choosing a product".

Overview​

A tiny release with a few fixes and tweaks.

Banner Features​

Polish on product list items

We squared up the product and collection thumbnails to better accommodate stores that aren’t using portrait images ( landscape or square).

We also improved the hover effects and made some other subtle style tweaks. This impacts the product selection drawers and the index pages for products and collections.

Dark and light text toggle on boxes

Boxes now support their own light and dark background settings for text. Previously you could only set this setting on the section. Now you can do it on individual boxes.

Both sections and individual boxes have this setting. If it’s not set on a specific box, the box will inherit the setting from the section.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Pushed a several QoL updates for the list of products shown when selecting a product.
• Added dark/light text toggle to boxes.
• Pushed backend changes for how components handle properties.
• Adjusted the spacing of action links when used as the CTA in a section.
• Fixed a bug where a section could not be duplicated.
• Fixed the link "Click Here" uses when saving a template.
• Fixed a bug where the page manager filter for "Live pages with A/B tests" was not working properly.
• Fixed a backend bug having to do with invalid Stripe subscriptions.

Overview​

A smaller release, but we shipped a few features and tweaks in addition to a number of bug fixes. Tons of work on some new features and editor improvements that will both land in a future release.

Banner Features​

Intro video for the page editor

As part of our work to improve the onboarding experience, a popup intro video for the editor will appear the first five times you enter the editor. You can also dismiss the tip permanently if you choose to.

Product images for all media

There’s a new folder in the media manager for Products where images that are imported from Shopify products will appear. This will make it easier to use product images in any Studio component.

Domain settings for Shopify

We cleaned up the domain settings for Shopify customers using the App Proxy functionality to load CX-Studio pages on their Shopify domain. When you’re using App Proxy it now shows “Point to Shopify” and you aren’t able to change it (we will probably enable people to change this in the future).

Form Width

In this release, we rolled out changes so that you can set a custom width for a form. All forms will use the style guide setting by default, but you can now set a custom width:

1. In the admin portal, under Forms, open the form you want to change

2. Click on the Settings tab

3. Under Max Width, select Custom...

4. Enter a number and save!

   

Text-align Right

You can now align text to the right! This is something we probably should have done a long time ago, but we’re only now getting to it along with a number of other editor improvements.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Added intro video for the editor.
• Added deep-links. Among other things, this allows us to provide one URL that all users can use to access a specific part of their account. For example, https://app.CX-Studio.com/goto/landing-pages will now take you to the landing pages section in your account.
• Adjusted media policy to allow product images to be used any place where media can be used.
• Updated the Studio UI to account for Shopify plans which use the proxy by default.
• Fixed a mobile-specific issue where text would overlap in the product component.
• Pushed a change to allow users to be able to set a max-width for their forms.
• Added support for text-align right.
• Fixed an issue with our HubSpot integration which prevented users from being able to add their HubSpot forms to a page.
• Fixed an issue where white backgrounds were mixing button styles when a dark background was used.

Overview​

Another large release shipping a few key features and a ton of small fixes.

Banner Features​

Shopify Free Plan

We’re now putting all new Shopify accounts on a free plan. This is a temporary change until we introduce multiple Shopify plans in Q2 of 2022.

Collapsing Product Descriptions

Stores often pack product descriptions with content that’s valuable for SEO. When rendered inside of our product component that text spills down the page creating an odd unbalanced view.

In this release, we rolled out a change that hides the text behind a “Read more” link if it is longer than 5 lines.

Resize-only for media

We’ve had a number of issues with image optimization being too aggressive so we’ve changed the default when adding media to Resize only.

Deleting users & accounts

We added functionality for our internal teams to be able to permanently delete users and accounts from our database. In the past we haven't had a good way of handling this and previous requests took longer to resolve than we'd like.

JSX Rendering Backend

We shipped the next phase of the prep work needed to support Component Properties. When we rolled out refactor NoML to be more like JSX we added a translation layer to translate from the new syntax into the old. This allowed us to use to avoid rewriting the rendering layer. In this release we rewrote the rendering layer so it’s no longer using the old syntax.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Launched the free plan for Shopify.
• Fixed an issue where templates with product collection components (but no product components) were asking for a product.
• Fixed an issue where customers synced from Shopify has their locations malformed during the sync.
• Rolled out an improvement for collapsing product descriptions when they are more than five lines long.
• Fixed an issue where the "Add to Bag" button was missing from the editor.
• Fixed another issue where the order of products in a collection component was different when viewing the component in the page builder compared to when the same component was viewed on a rendered (live) page.
• Pushed improvements to our JSX rending backend.
• Changed the default image optimization setting to "Resize Only".
• Fixed an issue where some page settings would be auto-populated if using a page template.
• Fixed an issue with landing page headers inheriting the wrong styles when rendering over a dark background.
• Removed DDC option from nav menu on Free, Lite, Full, and Full+ plans.
• Fixed an issue with DDC pages where they used the slug placeholder of "%" as value of both the canonical and OG:URL, URLs.
• Removed contact.type & contact.persona from conditional content UI as neither are used.
• Created a tool for our Support team to be able to delete users & accounts from the database.
• Fixed an issue with the Pricing/Features section being cutoff when too many cards are added.
• Fixed a bug that occurred when a date was removed from the settings of a blog article.
• Fixed an issue where users weren't able to save a page when missing a required field.
• Fixed an issue with an image in the "new lead" email notifications.

Overview​

Another monster release for the engineering team packed with features, tweaks, and bug fixes! This work was delayed for a few weeks while we tested the new JSX syntax for NoML. As a consequence more issues were rolled into this release because it includes work from the past three weeks.

Banner Features​

Showing a variant featured image

Shopify allows users to associate a single image with each variant. In this release, we added functionality to the product component that selects the variant image when the appropriate options are selected. This will zip to an image of the shirt in red when the red color is selected.

Banner Components

A reoccurring feature request, we implemented a basic banner component. That might sound kind of silly, but to date, we didn’t have a good way to build a component that had smaller buttons and padding. It’s now trivial to add a banner to any page.

JSX-Style Components

We’ve reworked the syntax of NoML to align with React’s JSX syntax. This is one of the things we needed to push out to make it easier for us to iterate on components, allows us to render dynamic changes within the section editor, and is a syntax that is familiar to a lot of developers.

Custom Code with Text Component

This behaves a lot like the Media component, but instead of an image you can add custom code. This will make it much easier to add custom embeds (for example a map) with text on the left or right.

]

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Pushed several polish-updates for Conditional Content.

• New component: "Banner"
• New component: "Custom Code/Text"
• Pushed a change to the timing of account creation from Shopify.

• "Contacts" renamed to "Customers" in the app and emails.

Overview​

Following the end of the holiday season we shipped a number of quality of life improvements for components and a handful of other changes.

Banner Features​

Better reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our reviews component has been revamped to include better layout support as well as properties for toggling stars, avatars, and taglines.

Animated logos & more!

Our standard logos component has been updated with support for animated scrolling! We also added support for grayscale, black & white, or reversed filtering.

Content subscriptions are no more

While this is a valuable feature for people who want to require a subscription in order to access content, Stripe deprecated their payment forms entirely and is now telling users to use payment links to achieve the same functionality. We were faced with updating our code to use payment links instead of forms (which was costly) or phasing out the feature. As this is not a widely used feature we chose the latter.

Meta description is now optional!

Previously we required that users add a meta description to their page before we let them publish that page. This is no longer the case. While it can be important for SEO, people often bypass this requirement with dummy content. This is actually worse for SEO. And if you don’t need to worry about SEO for your use case it makes no sense to require it. Given this, we decided the best thing was just to make it an optional field.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

Product Component​

• Tweak - Adjusted the "Product/Custom Text" section so that the images would be properly optimized.
• Tweak - Adjusted the "Select a product" drawer so that the products would appear the same size regardless of how long the product name was.

Product Collections​

• Bug - Fixed an issue where small alt images would overlay on the bigger primary images.

Other Components​

• Feature - Improved reviews component

Editor Improvements​

• Tweak - Updated the page editor to no longer require a meta description when publishing a page.
• Bug - Fixed an issue where creating a new page from a template would sometimes lead to no header being set on the rendered page, regardless of what was defined in the page settings.

Official Integrations​

• Tweak - Stripe deprecation. Removed from list of integrations, removed option from gated content, settings, and " Payments" option removed from Unstack admin.

Overview​

We had a monster release with a number of small, but significant features added to the product and a ton of bug fixes.

Banner Features​

Better product collection component

We just rolled out a new version of the product collection component. Not only does it look amazing compared to the old version it also allows you to automatically crop collection photos to a Portrait, Landscape, or Square aspect ratio.

Hello strike-through!

A reoccurring feature request, we finally had a chance to add a strikethrough button to the rich text editor. The needs of eCommerce customers made this a low-effort high-reward feature addition. Now customers can use strike-through to show price comparisons.

Better organization of templates

We now have more control over how templates are organized on the choose a template screen. New categories exist for Products, Collections, Lead Capture, and Other pages.

New eCommerce templates

Also new as of last week, we’ve added two additional landing page templates. Our first collection page template and a template that helps to demo our personalization features.

Much more to come on this front.

Better sync for product changes from Shopify

This won’t be fully realized until future releases, but we shipped the first work that will enable us to sync product changes on the fly from Shopify. Sync will soon occur whenever a change is made to a product and you won’t need to start the sync job manually any more.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

Overview​

Launch of Conditional Content! We updated the new page flow to better support product pages. We also shipped a ton of bug fixes in this release and disabled Semrush.

Banner Features​

Conditional Content for Personalization

Rounding out Conditional Content we’ve extended the functionality to support contact properties and behavior (in addition to the previous work for DDC).

This work makes it possible to support a bunch of additional use cases that are especially important to eCommerce customers who want to build personalized content for users. For instance, it’s now possible to show different content on a page for repeat visitors.

Updates to product selection flow

We’ve streamlined the process of adding a product to a page template by building it into the landing page flow. Previously, you would be dumped straight into the editor after selecting a product page template. Now you’ll be asked to select a product. As we continue to invest in improving our onboarding experience for Shopify customers you’ll see us ship more features like this.

So long, Semrush!

Our Semrush integration stopped working recently. As we were evaluating the work required to get it working again we decided to disable the integration for now because it is not used that much in the eCommerce space.

We may re-enable this in the future if there is the right kind of demand, but for now, so long, Semrush.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Pushed the final frontend changes for conditional content.
• Adjusted the behavior of the app when adding a product to a landing page.

Gorgias Chat Integration

More common with eCommerce customers Gorgias (pronounced Gorgeous) is a helpdesk solution for storefronts.

Icons & Images

We've tweaked the media manager so that you can now select any image or icon for any media component.

Now when you are selecting an icon the media manager will open on the "Icons" tab, but you will also be able to select " Images" to pick an icon instead.

The same is true for media which defaults to the "Images" tab but allows you to select "Icons".

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Added a native integration for Gorgias Chat
• Adjusted media selection to allow images from any category to be used in any context.
• Backend work to allow website and landing page templates to be used in either context.
• Fixed the link used in the email when alerting users of their A/B test results.
• Adjusted all pages created on Unstack to include the OG:URL

Overview​

We fixed a ton of bugs in this release, improved our Typekit integration, and added additional onboarding features that should make things easier for users to get started.

Banner Features​

Typekit

It's now super easy to use Typekit with Unstack. Simply add the integration from the Integrations page with your Kit ID and add the fonts you need from a new tab in the fonts menu.

Previously, users had to use custom CSS to utilize Typekit with Unstack. Now they can adjust all of these settings from within Unstack.

We're also detecting the kit ID from their company website or Shopify store and auto-enabling the integration during onboarding.

Better onboarding

We've improved two aspects of in-app onboarding in this release:

1. We're now automatically importing logos and styles from Shopify storefronts as part of the "add app" flow.

2. We've also changed the "New page" flow so that it always presents templates to users. The template screenshots are now taller making it easier to see what you are selecting.

Buy buttons moved above product description, & other small tweaks​

A small update, but significant for our Shopify customers: We've moved the buy buttons above the description on the product component. This puts it in a more prominent place, and works better for products with really long descriptions. Really long descriptions could even push the button below the fold.

We also removed FAQs from product component and fixed the sticky details section for the vertical images layout.

Complete List of Resolved Items​

• Buy buttons were moved above the description
• FAQ section was removed from product component
• Fixed a bug where product details were not sticky and would not scroll with images when using the "List" layout of the Product component.
