A big release headlined by the new Slider Arrows block, deep fine-tuning for Subscriptions and Offers, and more flexible page and product targeting across the Announcement Bar. It also brings per-viewport button and image controls for collection cards, a round of performance work, and a critical fix for license tokens that were being translated into other languages.
New Block
Slider Arrows — A small-but-mighty new block that adds arrows to control the nearest slider. Drop it anywhere to achieve arrow positions that weren't possible before, instead of being limited to a slider's built-in controls.
Improvements
Offers & Subscriptions
Subscriptions fine-tuning — We gave the Offers block a lot of love recently, and we've brought the same to Subscriptions. You now have desktop and mobile controls for text sizes, font weights, and padding across your titles, prices, and badges.
Offers font weights — Added font-weight options for the Offers badge and price, plus a Normal weight option for the Offer Title.
Optional perk gifts — Offer and Subscription perks can now include an optional gift that automatically adds a product to the cart when the offer or subscription is added. Set its price to $0 (or use a cart discount) to give it away for free.
Targeting & visibility
Announcement Bar & cart targeting — The Announcement Bar's Show on / Hide on conditions now accept multiple products and multiple collections, plus a new "Pages by handle" field for targeting several page, blog, or article handles at once. The same multi-select targeting now applies to the cart-drawer announcement and progress blocks too. Heads up: this replaces the old single product/collection pickers, so any existing Show on / Hide on product or collection selections will need to be re-set after you update.
Review Avatars — Added an option to hide the container on mobile.
Collection cards & grids
Featured Collection flush image — Added a Flush Image toggle, available when the card container is on, that squares off the bottom of product images so they sit flush inside the card for a cleaner look.
Per-viewport collection buttons — Added a separate Mobile button position to the Featured Collection and Collections List, so your button can sit in the content area on one viewport and over the image on the other.
Transparent grids — Added a Transparent color option to the Grid and Grid + Mobile Slider, so a grid can blend right in when your section has a gradient background.
Typography
Announcement Text advanced typography — Added an Advanced Typography toggle with font type, font weight, and line-height settings. Line height in particular lets you get really tight spacing when stacking multiple Announcement Text blocks.
Countdown Timer typography — Added Light and Medium weights for labels and Medium and Black weights for numbers, plus a Heading or Body font-type select — in both the standalone Countdown Timer and the Cart Drawer countdown.
Cart line-item weights — Added Title and Price font-weight controls to cart line items in the cart drawer.
Standardized icon sizes — Standardized the maximum icon size across the Icon blocks.
Sections & layout
FAQ heading alignment — Added a toggle to align the heading and subheading with the questions column (instead of the whole section) when the navigation is set to Left or Right.
Side Comparison logos & border — Raised the maximum logo width and relaxed the cap that was prematurely limiting logo size on desktop, and added an Outer Border toggle for a more flush container style.
Announcement Bar mobile width — Added a Mobile content width control to the Announcement Bar.
Classic Comparison Us divider — Added an Us Column divider-width slider, so the Us column can look more like Javvy's listicle that inspired the block.
Split Hero content width — Added a Maximum Content Width option for the desktop layout, for a more compact look instead of content stretching across the full-width section.
Marquee image corners — Added a corner-radius setting for Marquee Image blocks, and allowed tighter spacing between marquee items.
Footer spacer & alignment — Added a Spacer block for the Footer (set its grid width to control how many columns it spans) and a Mobile content alignment option for the email-signup block.
Media
Media links & hover effects — Added an optional Link so your images and videos can point to products, pages, or anywhere else, plus a set of hover effects that pair perfectly with linking (and look great on their own).
Social Media Videos — Three new features: an "Only apply to circle" toggle (filled style) that makes only the circle transparent; a choice to play a clicked video In Popup or In Carousel — playing inline with sound so viewers aren't interrupted by a popup; and a "Show play button only on hover" toggle, handy for clean no-sound autoplay videos.
Performance
Faster Material Symbols — A big performance optimization that makes the Material Symbols icon font about 50% smaller to download.
Faster custom fonts — Fonts uploaded via a stylesheet now load more performantly (uploading a custom font file directly to Shopify is still slightly faster).
Faster product image loading — Product pages now preload the main gallery image so it starts downloading sooner, improving load time.
Bug Fixes
License token translation (critical) — Fixed a critical issue where the license token could fail when the storefront was translated into certain languages, causing an "Unauthorized" state. The token is now stored in a way that translation apps leave untouched.
Contact Form phone input — Fixed the phone input inside the Contact Form being misaligned, and it now correctly shows the required indicator when the field is set to required.
Collection Navigation active pill — Fixed the active pill showing a border even when the border thickness was set to 0.
Alternating Media With Text — Fixed Collapsible Rows not stretching to the full width when the section is set to full width.
Testimonial Slider — Fixed a layout shift that occurred as you navigated between slides.
Custom font weights — Fixed several blocks forcing a particular font weight for custom (variable) fonts uploaded to Shopify, so bold and heading text now follow your configured weight instead of jumping to the heaviest weight.
Classic Comparison divider — Fixed the last row of the Classic Comparison showing a divider underneath it.
Slider Thumbnails — Fixed slider thumbnails not connecting to certain sliders (such as the testimonial slider) and not always highlighting the active slide.
