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.

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.

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.

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.

Variant breakouts can now exclude variants that match a condition you define — like being on sale or out of stock — so they never get their own tile.

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.

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

Create rules that hide products from search results, collection pages, or recommendation blocks based on catalog attribute conditions.
