Story Builder: Style Management Sidebar

We introduced a new Style Management Sidebar in the Story Builder, giving content managers more structured control over styling options. This improvement simplifies visual adjustments and prepares the foundation for more scalable design management in Product Stories.

Amazon Synchronization Fixes


Multiple fixes improved the reliability and consistency of Amazon A+ synchronization. They address known edge cases in metadata and API message handling.

A+ Import improvements


Work continued on separating Amazon brand-owned content import logic into a dedicated microservice. This improves maintainability, scalability, and future extensibility for Amazon integrations.

LEGO Widget Improvements


Ongoing enhancements improved the LEGO custom widgets used by retailers such as Alternate, Müller, and Thalia. These updates support smoother rollouts and retailer-specific configurations.

Locale & Language Alignment


We aligned terminology across the Icecat Studio platform by standardizing the use of “locale” instead of mixed references to “language” and “locale.” This improves consistency across the UI and APIs and reduces confusion for users working with multi-market content. It also clarifies how the platform handles regional variants.

AI-Driven Sandbox Image Generation (Investigation)


An initial investigation explored AI-powered image generation within the Sandbox. It focused on future capabilities, including background generation and image-creation workflows.

Product Story ZIP Export


Work continued on enabling ZIP export for Product Stories, allowing users to download and store the rich content created/uploaded via Icecat Studio.

Accessibility Investigation


Accessibility issues related to the video player and screen reader behavior were investigated, laying the groundwork for future compliance improvements.

Testing Coverage Enhancements


A coverage report for unit and integration tests was reviewed to improve overall test visibility and platform reliability.
