Sprint Release #134

Sprint 134 Release Note: We can't wait for you to read about the new features we've been working on - enjoy!

Duplicate Style Guides and Reduce Time when Onboarding New Clients

WHAT

After receiving many requests, the ability to duplicate Style Guides across different Clients is here! This new functionality allows you to save time and increase productivity by reusing Style Guides from one Client on another.

Instead of starting from scratch, you can easily take an existing Style Guide, including its associated Workflows, Presets, and Metadata Rules, and duplicate it onto a different Client.

This feature streamlines the setup process and expedites the transition from new Client setup to actual production.

WHY

Setting up Style Guides for separate Clients can be time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the interdependencies between Workflows, Presets, and Style Guides.

By enabling the duplication of Style Guides across Clients, we eliminate the need for manual setup and reduce the time required to onboard new Clients.

Akeneo Connector

WHAT

Akeneo functions primarily as a Product Information Management System. Our novel connector empowers users to both import product data directly by setting Akeneo as a Data Source and/or deliver assets back to the PIM by setting Akeneo as an Asset Delivery location in Creative Force.

WHY

Working directly with Akeneo in the past came with the laborious task of downloading data from Akeneo and manually uploading it into Creative Force. Similarly, receiving images from Creative Force via an FTP and subsequently pushing them into the Akeneo Account added to this complexity.

Our primary goal with this connector is to empower users to eliminate manual tasks and streamline workflows, ultimately making the process more effective and efficient.

• Assets with drafted comments or markings will show a draft indicator on the thumbnail so the user can easily complete their feedback
