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.

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

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

The sort order preview now breaks a Weighted Group blend down feature by feature — raw value, normalized score, weight share, and contribution — so you can see exactly why a product ranked where it did.

Date sort attributes now support an optional Bucket control — round timestamps down to the hour, day, week, month, quarter, or year so date-based tiebreakers and soft boosts stay meaningful even when many products launch close together.

Product Family is now a groupable LayersQL dimension — roll split listings and variants up into one row when reporting on products, sort orders, and metrics.

A sectioned metric picker for sort-order expressions with an inline Create Metric dialog, live preview, and per-row data status.

Segment metrics, sort orders, and merchandising rules by seven new customer and session attributes: language, currency, channel, sign-in state, session type, customer type, and company.

Add a per-product "only when" gate to an entire Weighted Group blend, or to a single feature inside it — unmet gates fall through to the next sort term.

The sort order preview now shows exactly how each soft boost affected a product — position change, lift, and final score — instead of a rough lift percentage.

The sort preview region and marketing segment pickers now hide long-tail values that lack enough traffic to influence the preview.

Turn off spacing on Soft Boost sort expressions to let matches clump together in score order instead of being spread across your results.
