Impact

Developers

• As part of a future Shopify platform improvement that will add support of speculation rules to preload pages, our themes are removing the dependency to the instant.page library. This should not cause any regression, and will ensure better performance in the future.

Added

• Added video controls to the multi-column section.
• Added support to the line item property on the quick buy modal.

Fixed

• Fixed an accessibility issue for Safari users using a keyboard on mobile phone, where the focus would not be trap inside the navigation menu.
• Fixed an accessibility issue where the video on the dedicated "video" section could not be started using the keyboard only.
• Improved accessibility for the before/after section, that can now be fully controllable using keyboard.

Developers

• We have removed the importmap polyfill from the theme, as Shopify will now automatically load importmap polyfill for older browsers. This change should not impact any customizations.

Improved

• We have simplified how Shopify Functions validation messages appear in cart and drawer to make them slightly less proeminent.
• Ensure that gift card recipient email length can't exceed 138 characters (which is a limit enforced by Shopify).

Developers

• Impact now includes several theme blocks as part of the code. Theme blocks are a new Shopify feature that allows reusable Liquid components within sections and enables nesting. However, migrating existing sections to theme blocks isn't currently feasible for existing themes, as this would be a breaking change that would break existing stores. While Shopify has yet to announce any migration tools, we've introduced a set of foundational theme blocks in Impact. This update empowers developers, agencies, and technical merchants to build custom sections more efficiently by leveraging pre-defined blocks that integrate seamlessly with the theme's code and design. This release includes the following foundational theme blocks: accordion, button, button group, heading, icon, Liquid code, rich text, page content, image, video, and badge.
