Sprint 88 is focused on improving story styling control, Amazon synchronization reliability, and a range of platform stability, accessibility, and infrastructure enhancements. Below is a summary of the key updates delivered in this release.
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.
Multiple fixes improved the reliability and consistency of Amazon A+ synchronization. They address known edge cases in metadata and API message handling.
Work continued on separating Amazon brand-owned content import logic into a dedicated microservice. This improves maintainability, scalability, and future extensibility for Amazon integrations.
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.
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.
An initial investigation explored AI-powered image generation within the Sandbox. It focused on future capabilities, including background generation and image-creation workflows.
Work continued on enabling ZIP export for Product Stories, allowing users to download and store the rich content created/uploaded via Icecat Studio.
Accessibility issues related to the video player and screen reader behavior were investigated, laying the groundwork for future compliance improvements.
A coverage report for unit and integration tests was reviewed to improve overall test visibility and platform reliability.
