What's newin Layers

Min positions between is now a maximum, not a fixed gap — Soft Boost tightens spacing automatically so the full matched cohort fits, and now respects hard demotions in every mode.

Creating a product sequence no longer requires picking a collection — new sequences now apply across your whole catalog automatically.

Variant breakouts can now list collections they never run on, so a store-wide breakout can skip a handful of collections without enumerating every other collection as a target.

A new beta block strategy serves "shop the look" sets built from the companion garments detected in your own product photography, no manual curation required.

Blocks can now serve the products a merchant authored in a Shopify reference metafield on the anchor product, like "wear it with" or "refills for this" — no duplicate curation required.

Target shoppers by the ad network or platform their landing link came from — even when the link carries no UTM tags.

Picking a sort order that already has a default rule now warns you in real time, names the conflicting rule, and links straight to it — instead of failing only at save time with no way to find it.

Open a product list for any facet value or group right from the Faceting tab, scoped to what shoppers can actually filter to.

Stockful inventory signals now sync as product and variant attributes you can use in merchandising rules, conditions, and sort orders.

Target merchandising rules, banners, and more at shoppers arriving from a specific Listrak email send.

A/B test sort orders against one or more challengers and measure conversion, add-to-cart, and revenue lift with statistical confidence.

Merchandising banners can now carry structured, typed fields — a headline, a countdown date, a product reference — not just an image and a link, defined once in Configure → Banner Types and reused across rules.
