v1.66October 2026

Auto Build Now Shows Customers How It Works

• NewThe Auto Build window in the storefront builder now plays a short looping preview while it is empty, so customers can see how it works before they start. A mouse pointer drags two images into the window, each one becomes a card, the print size is changed with the height following the width, the quantity is raised with the + button, and Auto Build then packs every copy onto a sheet. The written steps are highlighted in time with the animation, and the preview uses your builder's editor theme and your inches or centimeters setting. On rolling sheets the final caption tells the customer how much sheet length the copies used. It stops the moment a customer adds their own image, and it is skipped for customers who have asked their device to reduce motion. On narrower screens it shows on its own so it never pushes the window out of view, and on phones the written steps are shown instead. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewA new "Show Auto Build preview animation" option on the Settings page lets you turn the preview off if you would rather show only the written steps. It is on by default.
• ImprovedThe Auto Build window title is now simply "Auto Build" in every language, instead of the longer "build your gang sheet in one click" wording.

v1.65September 2026

Bulk Pricing for Custom Garment Products

• NewCustom Garment products can now offer quantity breaks, configured right inside Gangio. Open the product and find Bulk Pricing under Additional Options: add up to five tiers ("13+ garments 10% off", "25+ garments 15% off"), tick "Offer quantity breaks on this product", and save. Gangio creates one automatic discount per tier in your Shopify admin and keeps it in sync, so there is nothing to set up in Shopify's Discounts page yourself. Tiers are shared by every garment product you turn them on for, which keeps you well under Shopify's 25 automatic-discount limit and means a customer mixing two of your garment products in one cart is counted across both. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewThe garment builder previews the break as the customer fills in the quantity grid: step 2 lists the tiers above the totals, highlights the one the current quantity reaches, shows a "Volume discount" line with the amount taken off, and nudges toward the next tier ("Add 3 more for 15% off"). Shopify counts the quantity across all sizes, colors and eligible products in the cart, so the preview is a floor: a customer who already has garments in the cart can only do better at checkout. Fee lines such as rush and cutting are never discounted, and the tiers never stack with your other product discounts.
• ImprovedShopify stays the source of truth. If you edit a tier in the Shopify admin the card adopts the new values and marks it "Edited in Shopify"; if you delete one it reads "Deleted in Shopify" and saving recreates it; scheduled, expired, or stacking discounts are flagged with an "Open in Shopify" link. Turning bulk pricing off, unassigning a product, or switching it to another sheet type removes it from the discounts automatically. The merchant help page has a new Bulk pricing section covering the setup and how Shopify counts quantities.

v1.64September 2026

A Heads-Up When Orders Stop Coming Through the Builder

• NewGangio now notices when a product's orders keep arriving without a design attached and none of them came through the builder, and emails you to explain what's going on. One or two "No Artwork" orders are usually a customer using Shopify's "Buy again" button, but a run of them means the product page no longer has a working Gangio button: the app embed was switched off in the theme editor, the Build It block was removed, or the product was moved to a different gang sheet app while still assigned in Gangio. The email walks through both fixes — turning the embed back on if you still want to use Gangio for that product, or unassigning it on the Products page if you've moved on — and how to clear the orders already flagged. You get one email per product, and it's never sent while orders are coming through normally.
• ImprovedThe "No Artwork" note on the Orders page now covers this case too. Alongside the existing "Buy again" explanation it says what to check when every order for a product is flagged rather than the occasional one, and reminds you that unassigning a product you've moved to another app stops the warnings immediately. The same guidance was added to the in-app Help FAQ. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.

v1.63September 2026

Charge a Rush Order Fee

• NewYou can now charge a flat rush fee to move a sheet to the front of your queue. Open any product in Gangio — Fixed sizes, Rolling sheet, EZ Auto-Build, Single Image, or Custom Garment — and turn on Rush Order under Additional Options, right below Cutting Service. It works the same way: enter your price per sheet and click "Create it for me" to have Gangio make an unlisted fee product with a clock icon, or pick one you already have. Choose Optional (a checkbox the customer decides on, pre-ticked if you like) or Required (added to every sheet), and rename the label if "Rush order" isn't your wording. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewIn every builder the rush option sits next to the cutting option, above Add to Cart, and shows your per-sheet price. Unlike cutting, the fee is charged once per sheet regardless of how many designs are on it or how many copies are ordered. When the customer adds to cart, the sheet and a separate "Rush order" line go in together so the fee is plain to see at checkout; editing the sheet from the cart carries the rush line along. The Upload Gang Sheet card offers the same checkbox in its confirmation window. Custom Garment products get one extra choice: charge the rush fee once per design, or per piece so it's multiplied by the number of garments in the quantity grid — the builder shows the running total ("+ $2.00 × 12 = $24.00") next to the checkbox and the order badge reads "Rush order × 12".
• NewRushed sheets carry a "Rush order" badge on your Orders page and in the Gangio block on the Shopify order page, and a new "Rush only" filter on the Orders page lists just those sheets so production can pick them up first. If a customer asked for rush but removed the fee line before checkout, the badge says "Rush requested, fee not in order" so you can decide how to handle it. Rush revenue counts toward the usual usage fee in the same way as sheet and cutting revenue. The merchant help page has a new Rush order fee section walking through the setup.

v1.62September 2026

Accept PDF and Illustrator Gang Sheet Uploads

• NewCustomers can now upload a finished gang sheet as a PDF or Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file, not just a PNG. Turn on "Accept PDF and AI files" under Allow Gang Sheet Upload on the Settings page and the Upload Gang Sheet button starts accepting them. Because a PDF knows its real page size, Gangio reads the exact width and height from the file and recommends the matching variant — no guessing at DPI. Illustrator files need to be saved with "Create PDF Compatible File" ticked (Illustrator's default); if one isn't, or a PDF has more than one page, the customer gets a plain message explaining what to fix instead of a failed upload. PNG uploads work exactly as before, and the option is off until you switch it on.
• NewYou download the customer's file exactly as they sent it. On the Orders page a PDF or AI upload carries its format as a badge, and the main button reads "Download PDF" or "Download AI" and hands you the original, so you can drop it straight into your RIP with its vectors and fonts intact. The same original is offered in the Gangio block on the Shopify order page, and the file downloads with the usual order-number naming and the right extension.
• NewNeed a PNG instead? Click "Generate PNG" next to the download button and Gangio renders the file at your print resolution — 300 DPI by default — at the page's true physical size, with transparency preserved and the DPI written into the file so your print software sizes it correctly. It's rendered once, kept with the order, and the button becomes "Download PNG" from then on. Either format counts as the sheet's first download for the usual usage fee; downloading the other one later is free.
• ImprovedThe upload confirmation window now adapts to the file type: for a PDF or AI file it shows the format and the page size rather than pixel dimensions and the 300 DPI estimate, and reminds the customer that vector files print at their actual page size. Storage totals on your Analytics page include the stored originals, and unpurchased vector uploads are cleaned up alongside PNG uploads. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.

v1.61September 2026

Imported Variants Save Right Away

• FixedWhen you add a product to Gangio and choose Fixed sizes, the variants it pulls in from your Shopify product can now be saved straight away. Those imported sizes show an "Unmatched" badge until they're saved, but the Save bar at the top of the page stayed hidden until you edited something — so the only way to save them was to nudge a width or price and put it back. The Save bar now appears as soon as there are imported variants waiting, with a note above the size list telling you how many and reminding you to check each width and height before saving. Save syncs them and the badges turn to "Synced"; if a variant's title didn't include its dimensions, the width and height fields tell you what's missing. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• FixedDesigns no longer print smaller than they looked in the builder when a customer uses Auto Crop while a background removal or halftone effect is still being applied. In that few-second window the crop was quietly dropped from the saved sheet even though the canvas kept showing the cropped image, so the finished gang sheet rendered the whole original image squeezed into the cropped box — one merchant's text design came out at roughly two-thirds of the preview size. The crop now stays put, and what the customer sees on the canvas is what gets printed.
• FixedLinks that point to a specific section of the merchant help page and the other public pages now land where they should. Screenshots higher up the page finished loading after the jump and pushed the content down, leaving you reading the section above the one you were sent to. The page now holds its place on the linked section while those images load, and stops adjusting the moment you start scrolling yourself.

v1.60September 2026

Charge a Per-Cut Fee for Cutting Services

• NewYou can now charge customers for cutting, priced per cut and based on how many designs are on their sheet. Open any Fixed sizes, Rolling sheet, or EZ Auto-Build product in Gangio and turn on Cutting Service under Additional Options. Shopify needs a real product to charge the fee, so enter your price per cut — $0.20, say — and click "Create it for me"; Gangio makes the product, gives it a scissors image, and keeps it unlisted so it never shows up in your store's search or collections. If you already have a cutting product, you can pick that instead. Then choose whether cutting is Optional (customers see a checkbox in the builder and decide, pre-ticked if you like) or Required (added to every sheet), and rename the label customers see if "Cutting service" isn't the wording you use. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewIn the storefront builder, the cutting option sits just above Add to Cart and shows your per-cut price, with the running cut count and cutting subtotal updating as the customer adds designs. One cut is one design on the sheet, multiplied by the number of copies ordered — a sheet with 15 designs ordered twice is 30 cuts. When they add to cart, the sheet and a separate "Cutting service" line (quantity equal to the number of cuts) go in together, so the fee is plain to see at checkout and on the order rather than buried in the sheet price. If the customer edits the sheet from the cart, the cutting line is updated to match. The same works in EZ Auto-Build, where the checkbox appears in the image picker.
• NewEvery gang sheet that was cut carries a cutting badge — "Cutting: 30 cuts" — on your Orders page and in the Gangio block on the Shopify order page, so your production team knows what to cut without opening the cart lines. If a customer asked for cutting but the fee line was removed before checkout, the badge says so ("Cutting requested, fee not in order"), and you can decide whether to cut anyway. Cutting revenue counts toward the usual 3% usage fee in the same way as sheet revenue.
• ImprovedA cutting fee can never block a sale. The option only appears in the builder once the fee product is published to your Online Store; until then — or if the product is ever unpublished or deleted — Gangio hides it and sheets add to cart exactly as they always have, while the product's settings card in Gangio flags "Needs attention" so you know what to fix. The card shows the product's live status, a one-click "Open in Shopify" link, and a "Re-check" button for after you've published it.
• NewThe merchant help page has a new Cutting service fee section, with its own entry in the table of contents, that walks through setup with screenshots of the settings card and the builder, explains how cuts are counted, and covers what the cutting badges on your orders mean. Two new FAQs — how to charge for cutting, and why the option might not be showing in the builder — are on the help page and in the in-app Help.

v1.59September 2026

Unfinished Sheets Keep Their Uploaded Artwork

• FixedDesigns a customer is still working on are no longer deleted out from under them. When a shopper builds a gang sheet across several sessions — uploading a few images one week, then coming back later to finish — an unfinished sheet isn't saved to your store or sitting in a cart yet, so the nightly storage clean-up couldn't tell those uploads were still in use and removed them. The order then went through with blank gaps where the missing designs should have been, the downloaded sheet came out incomplete, and opening it in the builder showed "images were removed because they are no longer available". An upload now counts as in use every time a customer has it open in the builder, so the countdown restarts on each visit instead of running from the day the file was first uploaded. The window was also running at half its intended length — 10 days rather than 20 — and is now held at the full 20 days no matter how the nightly job is scheduled. Sheets already affected can't be recovered, because those files are gone: if an order downloaded with unexpected gaps, ask the customer to re-send the missing designs.
• ImprovedThe "Delete unused images" clean-up on your Analytics page no longer counts an image as unused while a customer still has it on a canvas. Since an unfinished sheet isn't saved to your store yet, that button could remove artwork a shopper had uploaded minutes earlier and was actively working with. It now leaves recent uploads alone and only reclaims images nobody has touched in 20 days, so reclaiming storage can't cost a customer their work mid-design. The estimate shown before you confirm matches what actually gets deleted.
• FixedThe "Mark as handled" tooltip on the Orders page no longer implies that downloading the sheet afterwards is free. Marking an order as handled is still free and still deletes nothing, but the usual usage fee does apply if you download that sheet later — the tooltip now says so plainly instead of folding both ideas into one reassuring sentence. Corrected in all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.

v1.58August 2026

Clear Refunded Orders Off Your Pending Tab

• NewYou can now clear any order off the Pending tab without downloading it. If you refunded an order, cancelled it, or sorted it out with the customer some other way, click "Mark as handled" on the gang sheet and it moves off Pending — so that tab only ever shows work you still have to do. This used to be possible only on orders flagged "No Artwork", which left refunded and cancelled orders sitting in Pending with no way to clear them short of downloading a sheet you were never going to print. Marking a sheet as handled never charges a usage fee, and nothing is deleted: the order stays on the Orders page and the sheet is still there to download later if you change your mind. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• ImprovedOrders you mark as handled now carry their own "Handled" label showing the date, rather than being counted as downloaded. That keeps your numbers honest: a sheet you never downloaded is no longer added to the download totals on your dashboard or the Analytics page, and an order closed out this way reads "All handled" instead of "All downloaded". "Generate & Download All" skips these sheets too, so a batch download can't quietly bill you for an order you already wrote off.

v1.57August 2026

Edit Opens the Right Builder Every Time

• FixedOn the Orders page, the pencil Edit button now opens each gang sheet in the product it was actually built on. If you sell through more than one builder product — a DTF gang sheet alongside a UV sticker roll, for example — every sheet used to open in whichever product you set up first, so opening a DTF order could land you in the UV builder with the wrong sizes, variants, and pricing loaded. Each sheet now opens against its own product, taken from the order itself, on both the "Paid" and "Not paid yet" tabs. Shops with a single builder product were never affected and see no change.

v1.56August 2026

Fifteen Special Effects for Your Buttons

• NewYour Gangio buttons can now carry a special effect instead of just a flat color. Open the theme editor, click any placed Gangio button — Build It, Upload Gang Sheet, Upload Image, or Add Images — and pick from fifteen effects sorted into five groups: Glow (Soft Glow, Pulse Glow, Underglow), Shine & reflection (Glossy, Shine Sweep), Depth & material (Sticker, Beveled 3D), Signature palettes (Gold Foil, Rose Gold, Prism, Sunset, Aurora), and Motion & attention (Gradient Flow, Border Beam, Heartbeat). Each button you place keeps its own effect, so your Build It button can look completely different from your Add Images button, and the button text, color, corner radius, and font size you already set all keep working on top of it. If you never placed a block and rely on the button the app adds for you, the same dropdown is on the Settings page with a live preview beside it. Translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewThe merchant help page has a new Button effects section, with its own entry in the table of contents, so you can match an effect name in the theme editor dropdown to what it actually looks like. Every sample is a real, working button rather than a screenshot, so what you see on the help page is exactly what your storefront will render. It also answers the two questions the feature raises most often: how to add an effect to a button, and why the Gold Foil, Rose Gold, Prism, Sunset, and Aurora palettes keep their own colors instead of following your button background color.
• ImprovedOn EZ Auto-Build products, finishing an image selection no longer throws your customer onto the cart page. The button now reads "Confirm Selection", and once the images are added a confirmation panel slides in over the product page showing a preview, how many images were added, the total print size, and the price — with buttons to keep shopping or head to the cart. Customers who want to add another batch or change what they picked can do it right there instead of navigating back to the product first.
• ImprovedWhile an EZ Auto-Build image is being prepared, its thumbnail now reads "Processing image" instead of "Uploading Your Gang Sheet" — the old wording was confusing on a product where every upload is a single image rather than a whole sheet.
• ImprovedOn phones, the gang sheet builder header now shows a compact close icon in place of the full "Back to product" link, which was crowding out the rest of the header on small screens. On desktop the labelled link stays exactly as it was.
• FixedUploading an extremely pixel-dense image — for example a 14 MB PNG measuring tens of thousands of pixels on each side — no longer brings the app down in the middle of a customer's session. These files are now measured before they're opened and turned away with a message naming their actual dimensions and suggesting a smaller size or a lower-DPI export, rather than failing with a vague error and a retry that made things worse. The message is translated into all eight supported languages and now also appears in the EZ Auto-Build uploader, which previously showed only a generic "please retry". Uploading large print-ready premade sheets is unaffected: that path has no size limit and still doesn't.
• FixedThe nightly clean-up that reclaims storage by removing images no longer used by any saved design had been quietly failing since early July, leaving around 9,750 unused files behind. It runs again, and it now recognizes image references it used to overlook — so images still attached to a design or sitting in a customer's cart are protected instead of being at risk. It also works through the backlog gradually and stops itself if a run ever looks wrong, rather than deleting six weeks of files in one go.

v1.55August 2026

Single Image Uploads Keep Their Real Size

• ImprovedOn single-image products, an uploaded image now lands on the sheet at its real print size instead of being shrunk to leave a margin around it. A design that already matches the sheet — a 50 × 50 cm file on a 50 × 50 cm sheet — now fills it edge to edge and is ready to add to the cart with no resizing. Smaller files appear at their true printed size as well, and the "Fit to sheet" button is still there whenever your customer wants to scale a design up to the full sheet in one click.
• NewWhen a customer uploads an image larger than the sheet size they picked, a message now confirms it was resized to fit, so nobody is left wondering why their design looks smaller than the file they sent. The notice is translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• FixedVery tall gang sheets filled by one single large design — for example a 22 × 160 inch sheet with one full-length artwork — no longer fail with "unable to generate sheet" when you download them. Those orders now render like any other, and sheets made up of several designs were never affected at any size.

v1.54July 2026

Video Tutorials Inside Your Setup Guide

• NewThe setup guide on your dashboard now shows the matching video tutorial right beside the step it explains. Click the thumbnail next to "Configure gang sheet sizes" or "Enable the builder in your theme" and the walkthrough plays in a pop-up without leaving the app — no hunting for it on YouTube or the Help page first. Each thumbnail disappears once you've finished that step, so the guide stays short as you work through it.
• NewA "Need help with any of these steps?" link now sits at the bottom of the setup guide and takes you straight to Help and tutorials. It's translated into all eight supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewThe Help page has a new Guides and documentation section with direct links to the full merchant setup guide, the customer building guide you can share with your shoppers, and the changelog. Each one opens in a new tab so you keep your place in the admin.

v1.53July 2026

Dutch Language Support

• NewDutch (Nederlands) is now a fully supported language — the admin dashboard, the storefront gang sheet builder, and the order admin blocks are all translated. Gangio now speaks eight languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Swedish, and Dutch.
• NewDutch is available in the language selector under Settings and can also be picked up automatically from your Shopify store language.
• NewEvery Dutch storefront string can be customized per shop from the Storefront translations page, just like the other languages.

v1.52July 2026

Clear Stuck No-Artwork Orders with One Click

• NewOrders flagged as "No Artwork" — like reorders made with Shopify's "Buy again" button, or orders you created manually and invoiced without a gang sheet — no longer sit in your Pending tab forever. A new "Mark as handled" button on the flagged sheet lets you dismiss it once you've sorted the order out, moving the order to your Completed tab. Dismissing never costs anything, and the order keeps its "No Artwork" label so you can always tell it apart from a real download. The button is translated into all seven supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• ImprovedThe "Not paid yet" card at the top of the Orders page now counts only the last 30 days instead of all time, so the number reflects recent activity instead of growing forever as old abandoned carts pile up. The Not Paid tab itself still lists everything.
• FixedSaving a rolling-size product with a very large number of size variants (1,000+) no longer fails with "variant already exists" errors — the app now clears old variants in properly sized batches. Also on the Products page, the save bar now closes as it should after a successful save instead of insisting you still have unsaved changes.
• ImprovedEmails from Gangio — like set-up help confirmations and status updates — are now less likely to land in spam: links go straight to their destination instead of through a tracking redirect.

v1.51July 2026

Free Installation Reviews & Live Set Up Help

• NewNeed a hand getting set up? A new card on your dashboard and Help page lets you request help straight from the Gangio team. Choose a free installation review — we check your app setup and app blocks and test that everything works on your store and theme — or a live set up session where we connect over Google Meet and guide you through configuring the app. Tell us your name, email, and phone number, pick "Now (ASAP)" or the next business day (morning or afternoon EST), and you'll get an email confirmation right away.
• NewThe card keeps you posted from request to done: when our team confirms, reschedules, completes your request, or leaves you notes, the card updates on your dashboard and you receive an email. You can dismiss the card anytime — it comes back whenever there's a new update — and once a request is completed you can submit another whenever you need. The card is translated into all seven supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• ImprovedOn the product page, EZ Auto-Build now shows prices in your customer's local market currency, so the price on the uploader always matches what they'll see in the cart. The upload area also gently pulses until the first image is added, making it obvious where to start.
• FixedVery large EZ Auto-Build orders no longer fail when a packed print sheet is too big to store — the app now automatically re-packs those orders onto shorter sheets and carries on.
• FixedThe Orders page now flags purchases of a gang sheet product that arrived without a design attached — most commonly from Shopify's "Buy again" button — as "No artwork", so you can follow up with the customer instead of discovering an empty order. And on the Products page, the save bar no longer closes when a sizes save fails validation, so your edits stay put while you fix the issue.

v1.50July 2026

A Much Better Builder on Phones

• ImprovedDesigning a rolling gang sheet on a phone now puts the canvas front and center. The length indicator shrinks to a slim progress strip, and the live price and sheet size move down next to the Add to Cart button, so both stay visible while you design. The toolbar now stays pinned below the header as you scroll, and the canvas grows to fill the rest of the screen — on standard fixed-size sheets too.
• ImprovedThe Auto Build window is now built for small screens. It opens as a bottom sheet with the Auto Build and Start over buttons always in reach, the upload area becomes a compact tap-to-upload row with My Images and Designs side by side, and the margin, rotation, and arrange settings tuck into a single "Margins & Arrange" row that shows your current choices — like "Smart · Gap 0.25in" — and expands with one tap when you want to change them. The new row is translated into all seven supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• FixedIn the Designs window, ticking images and then switching to another category no longer clears your picks — selections now carry across tabs, the selected count stays accurate, and Add to Sheet adds everything you chose in one go. The dark selection bar also no longer gets covered by the checkboxes of cards scrolling underneath it on phones.

v1.49July 2026

Print Order Info at the Top of Every Gang Sheet

• NewYou can now print order details directly on your gang sheets. Turn on the new "Print File Header" option on the Settings page and pick exactly what to include — order number, customer name, sheet number (like "Sheet 1 of 3"), sheet size, and order date. Every gang sheet you download then carries a slim text line at the top, so you can match printed sheets to orders at a glance without digging through filenames. The setting is translated into all seven supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• NewThe header sits in its own half-inch band above the design area, so nothing your customer placed is ever covered, moved, or resized — the file simply becomes half an inch taller. It works for both builder-designed sheets and EZ Auto-Build image sheets, and the sheet size in the header follows your inches-or-centimeters preference. Sheets generated before you turned the option on keep their existing files; use Regenerate on the Orders page to add the header to those.

v1.48July 2026

Thumbnails That Show Exactly What Auto Crop Will Print

• ImprovedIn the Auto Build window, turning Auto Crop on now updates the image's thumbnail to show just the trimmed artwork — so you can see exactly what will be placed on your gang sheet before building it. Turning it off brings back the full image preview.
• ImprovedThe same live preview now works in the EZ Auto Build flow on the product page: ticking Auto-crop shows the cropped design in the card's thumbnail, and images restored from a saved draft or a cart edit show their cropped preview right away.
• FixedIn Auto Build, using "Re-render HD" on a PDF design with Auto Crop turned on now re-trims the design against the new high-resolution version. Previously the crop could keep pointing at the older, lower-quality image.

v1.47July 2026

Auto Crop in the Side Panel & a New Help Center

• NewAuto Crop now has its own button in the Image Properties panel on the right side of the builder, alongside Remove Background and Check Quality — no need to hunt for it in the small toolbar next to the selection. It trims the empty space around your images in one click, works even when several images are selected at once, and is translated into all seven supported languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• NewA new help center is live at gangio.com/help, with step-by-step guides and screenshots for customers designing gang sheets and a dedicated section for merchants covering setup, product configuration, orders, and settings. The help link at the bottom of the builder now takes customers straight there.
• NewA "View Demo Store" button on the Gangio website lets anyone try the gang sheet builder on a live store before installing the app.

v1.46July 2026

Reliable Billing Approval & Stronger Unsaved-Changes Protection

• FixedApproving the billing plan now unlocks the app immediately on every kind of store. Previously, stores that approve test charges (such as development and partner stores) could approve the plan and still see "Approve Billing Plan" prompts everywhere — gang sheet generation and storage upgrades stayed locked even though the plan was active. The app now recognizes the approved plan correctly and all features unlock right away.
• FixedThe "Approve Billing Plan" button on the Settings page no longer gets stuck on a loading spinner. If you click it while you have unsaved settings changes, the app now asks about your unsaved changes first — choosing to stay leaves the button fully usable, and confirming takes you straight to Shopify's approval page.
• ImprovedUnsaved changes are now protected everywhere in the admin. With edits pending on Settings, Products, Storefront translations, My Designs, or Analytics, clicking a menu item or the browser back button now always shows the "unsaved changes" prompt instead of occasionally navigating away and discarding your edits — you decide whether to save, discard, or stay.

v1.45July 2026

Smarter Overflow Dialogs When Multiple Sheets Are Off

• FixedCustomers can no longer get stranded on a hidden extra sheet. When a store has the sheets panel turned off in Settings, the "Not Enough Space for All Copies" dialog no longer offers a "Use multiple sheets" button — previously, clicking it moved the customer to a new sheet with no tabs to navigate back to their original design.
• FixedThe same protection applies to the other overflow prompts: "Move to new sheet" after Auto Arrange and "Create Additional Sheets" in rolling mode are only offered when the store allows multiple sheets. The rolling-mode message now suggests removing or resizing images instead.

v1.44July 2026

Complete Translations for Cart Editing

• FixedThe Update Cart button in the builder now displays in the store's language instead of always showing in English. All seven supported languages are covered: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• FixedThe progress overlay shown while building or updating a gang sheet — including the "Building Your Gang Sheet" title, step labels, and status messages like "Saving changes…" — is now fully translated.
• FixedThe "Cart updated!" confirmation that appears after editing a gang sheet from the cart now appears in the store's language, matching its buttons which were already translated.
• FixedThe "Edit Design" and "Preview Design" links on the cart page are now translated into all seven supported languages.

v1.43July 2026

Dramatically Faster Canvas on Large Sheets

• ImprovedEditing large gang sheets is now dramatically smoother. The builder only draws the part of the sheet that's visible on screen instead of the entire sheet, so dragging, zooming, scrolling, and selecting stay fast even on very long sheets (like 300" rolling canvases) — and especially when zoomed in close, where lag was most noticeable before.
• ImprovedBecause rendering is now so much lighter, the canvas always displays at full sharpness on high-resolution screens. Previously, very large sheets were drawn slightly softer to keep the editor responsive.
• NewAdobe Illustrator (.ai) files can now be uploaded directly to the builder — they're converted automatically on upload, so customers can use vector artwork without exporting to PNG first.
• ImprovedRoomier limits: EZ Auto-Build now accepts up to 500 copies per image (up from 99), merchants can set a minimum order size for EZ Auto-Build sheets, and the builder's per-sheet image limit is now configurable up to 1,000 images.
• ImprovedBuilder polish: when re-opening an order for editing, the "Order loaded" confirmation now appears only once every image is actually visible on the canvas, and the gap spacing box no longer cuts off its unit label.
• FixedAuto Build no longer mixes up crops between images. With 10 or more items in the Auto Build modal, one image's crop could occasionally be applied to a completely different image on the sheet — every image now keeps exactly its own crop.
• FixedSaved orders no longer silently drop images. In rare cases an image that was visible on the canvas could go missing from the saved order; everything on the canvas is now reliably included.
• FixedPrinted gang sheets no longer lose a thin strip along the right or bottom edge — a scaling issue in the print renderer could clip designs sitting flush against those edges.
• FixedUploading a premade gang sheet no longer fails on very large sheets.
• FixedIn rolling mode, the sheet length and price now update immediately after running Auto Arrange, instead of showing stale values until the next change.

v1.42July 2026

Swedish Language Support

• NewSwedish (Svenska) is now a fully supported language — the admin dashboard, the storefront gang sheet builder, and the order admin blocks are all translated. Gangio now speaks seven languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, and Swedish.
• NewSwedish is available in the language selector under Settings and can also be picked up automatically from your Shopify store language.
• NewEvery Swedish storefront string can be customized per shop from the Storefront translations page, just like the other languages.

v1.41June 2026

EZ Auto-Build: One-Click Image Gang Sheets

• NewNew EZ Auto-Build sheet type lets customers skip the builder entirely — they upload their images, pick a size and quantity right on the product page, and each image becomes its own cart line priced by its actual print area (per square inch or cm). The print-ready gang sheet is automatically packed and rendered the moment the order is placed, using the final purchased quantities.
• NewStorefront "Add Images" modal / app block with built-in auto-crop, a live billable-area readout, automatic size capping, and the Check Quality inspector — themed to match the store's colors and fonts and fully translated across all six languages.
• NewPer-product EZ Auto-Build configuration in the admin: set the roll/sheet width, price per area, image spacing, and maximum sheet length, with bulk management of the area-based variants. A BETA badge marks the new option on the sheet-type selector.
• ImprovedMerchant-configurable image spacing — choose exactly how much gap the packer leaves between images instead of the old fixed 0.125". The value is frozen into the order at add-to-cart, so existing products are unaffected.
• ImprovedSmarter packing — a MaxRects best-fit algorithm with optional 90° rotation and grid-tiling of identical copies fits more images into less material. Orders that exceed the configured maximum sheet length are automatically split across multiple gang sheets (shown as "Sheet X of N"), with the order value distributed so the usage fee is unchanged.
• ImprovedMerchants can now re-open and rearrange a packed EZ Auto-Build sheet from the orders page using the builder in a free-form edit mode, then re-render it without re-packing.
• ImprovedSensible defaults for new EZ Auto-Build products ($0.02/sq in, 22" roll width, 300" max length, 0.2" image spacing) and a cleaner, simpler configuration screen.
• FixedEZ Auto-Build cart lines now show only the Preview Design link (no Edit Design), since they're packed automatically and have no per-line canvas to return to.
• FixedDuplicate gang sheets no longer appear when Shopify retries a large order. Image orders now pack in the background so the webhook responds instantly, and an atomic per-order claim ensures only one pack runs even if a retry or manual resync overlaps.
• FixedCart line-item matching on Section Rendering themes (Enterprise, Weaver, and similar) — Edit/Preview links and per-line thumbnails now attach to the correct row and survive quantity changes and cart re-renders, instead of landing inside the delete button or painting every line of a product with a single thumbnail.

v1.40June 2026

PDF Uploads & HD Re-Render

• NewPDF uploads are now supported — upload a vector PDF design and the app rasterizes it for the canvas while keeping the original PDF on file so it can be re-rendered later at any size.
• NewNew Re-render HD quick action on the canvas (above the duplicate button) for PDF-based images. It re-rasterizes the design from the stored vector at the current print size and swaps in a crisper image across every placed copy. It's available in Auto Build too, and is offered automatically whenever an image's effective resolution drops below 300 DPI.
• ImprovedPDF transparency is now preserved — transparent backgrounds are no longer flattened to white when a PDF is imported.
• FixedAfter re-rendering a PDF at a higher resolution, Auto Crop now scales correctly from the new print size (and restores properly when toggled off), matching the main editor's crop behavior.

v1.39June 2026

Auto Build Arrangement & Builder Defaults

• NewArrangement method picker in the Auto Build modal and the toolbar Auto Arrange popover — choose Smart Optimization (best-fit packing) or Grid (by design) for uniform grids of identical copies.
• NewAuto Build now remembers your session — reopening it restores your images, sizes, quantities, and chosen arrangement method. A new Start over button clears it.
• NewMerchants can set a default builder gap on the Settings page that pre-selects the spacing control when a customer opens the builder. Customers can still change it.
• ImprovedThe Auto Arrange button gently pulses after a build so customers notice they can re-flow the layout, and the allow-rotation control is now a checkbox that defaults to off.
• ImprovedThe new default-gap setting is translated across all six supported languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.38June 2026

Gang Sheet Download Fixes

• FixedGang sheets that had a design dragged partly past the sheet edge — or a rotated design whose corner extended past the boundary — no longer fail to generate with a "Couldn't generate gang sheet" error. The print renderer now clips anything outside the sheet exactly the way the on-screen editor does, instead of erroring out, so these orders download reliably.
• FixedDownloaded gang sheet files now keep their full descriptive name and .png extension. Orders whose number contained a "#" (e.g. an order named DTF#1896) were saving as just "DTF" with no extension, because the "#" cut off the rest of the filename. The order number, sheet position, copy count, and date are now all preserved — for example DTF1896_1-of-1_1x_2026-06-16_15-30.png.

v1.37June 2026

Reliable Large Gang Sheet Downloads

• FixedDownloading very large gang sheets no longer fails with a "failed to fetch" error after sitting at 90%. Big files used to be funneled through the app server on their way to your browser, so multi-hundred-megabyte sheets could time out or drop mid-transfer. Downloads now come straight from secure cloud storage, so even very large sheets (500MB+) come down reliably.
• ImprovedThe actual file transfer now uses your browser's native download manager, which means downloads can resume after a network hiccup instead of starting over. If a download is ever interrupted, clicking Download again pulls the same already-generated file instantly — it does not re-generate the sheet.
• ImprovedRe-downloading a sheet that was already generated is now near-instant, since the file is served directly from storage with a temporary secure link rather than being rebuilt or re-streamed through the app.

v1.36June 2026

Protect Your Designs with Watermarks

• NewNew Editor watermark option on the My Designs page lets you overlay a repeating watermark on your pre-uploaded designs while customers work in the builder — a deterrent against having your artwork copied. Turn it on with one checkbox; the watermark defaults to your shop name, or enter any custom text.
• NewThe watermark appears only on YOUR designs (your My Designs library images) when a customer places them on the canvas — customers' own uploaded artwork is never watermarked. It stays locked to each design as it's moved, resized, rotated, flipped, duplicated, auto-cropped, background-removed, or halftoned.
• NewDesigns are now protected inside the storefront Designs picker and the Auto Build designs picker too: thumbnails show the watermark, and right-click "Save image as" plus drag-to-download are blocked.
• ImprovedThe watermark is preview-only — it never appears on cart thumbnails, saved designs, or the final printed gang sheet file. A clear note in the Designs picker reminds customers of this, and the watermark is shown semi-transparently so the design stays easy to see.
• ImprovedWatermark settings save through the standard contextual save bar, and all new text is translated across all 6 supported locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.35May 2026

Single Image Editor Polish

• NewAuto Crop button in the slim Single Image Sheet editor — the same one-click transparent-edge trim that's been on the multi-image gang sheet builder. The cropped region is saved alongside the placement, so the server prints exactly what's previewed and re-editing from the cart restores the crop on canvas.
• NewTypeable Width and Height inputs in the Adjust panel of the Single Image editor — customers can now enter precise dimensions instead of dragging the corner handles. Inputs commit on Enter or blur, honor the Lock aspect ratio toggle so the other dimension auto-updates, and respect the shop's measurement unit (inches or centimeters). The DPI warning, overflow warning, and live image-size readout update immediately.
• NewHover tooltips for the Adjust action buttons (Fit to sheet, Center, Rotate 90°, Auto Crop, Remove image) in the Single Image editor — same styled tooltip the main gang sheet builder uses, with theme-aware colors and keyboard focus support.
• ImprovedAdjust button labels, the new width/height aria-labels, and the auto-crop status toasts in the Single Image editor are now fully translated across all 6 supported locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese) instead of falling back to hardcoded English.

v1.34May 2026

Editor Themes

• NewNew Editor Appearance card on the Settings page (grouped with Branding) lets merchants pick a color theme for the customer-facing gang sheet builder. The selection drives the entire builder UI — buttons, header, sidebars, ruler, tooltips, focus rings, the canvas selection rectangle, and the dashed hover outline — so the editor matches the storefront's look without any custom CSS.
• NewNine accent-color themes that keep the bright default surfaces and only swap the brand color: Slate, Teal, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Magenta, Purple, and Black. Each one is tuned so on-accent text stays readable (yellow uses dark text, etc.).
• NewSix full surface themes that change both the chrome and the accent: Light (cleaner, near-white), Midnight (deep navy with bright blue), Beige (warm cream with bronze), Night (matte black with white accents), Arctic (soft white with royal blue), Oceanic (deep teal-navy with teal), Lava (charcoal black with orange), and Goldline (matte black with gold).
• NewLive theme preview directly under the dropdown shows a mini swatch (page background, card, accent button, text sample) so merchants can compare themes before saving.
• ImprovedTheme dropdown is split into two visually grouped sections — Accent colors and Surface themes — so it's clear which themes only tint the brand color and which redo the whole UI.
• ImprovedTooltips, button labels, the bottom-of-canvas zoom toolbar, the Konva selection outline, and the dashed hover outline on unselected images all stay readable on every theme — including dark themes where translucent-white surfaces previously vanished.
• ImprovedTheme labels translated across all 6 supported locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.33May 2026

Customize Storefront Builder Text

• NewNew Storefront translations page in the admin (under Settings) lets you view, search, and customize every text string customers see in the gang sheet builder — across all six supported languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).
• NewSearch bar filters the full list of 470 storefront strings by key or text — type any word and matching strings appear instantly.
• NewEditing language selector at the top of the page switches which locale you're customizing. Each language has its own set of overrides, so a Spanish customization doesn't affect English customers and vice-versa.
• NewPer-string Reset button restores any single override back to the bundled default. A Reset all overrides button at the top wipes every customization for the selected language at once (with a confirmation prompt).
• NewModified badge appears next to every row that has a custom value, and a count badge on the section header shows how many of the storefront strings you've customized.
• NewVariable placeholders like {{name}} or {{count}} that appear inside a default string are surfaced as small chips with a tooltip reminder, so you don't accidentally remove them when editing.
• ImprovedCustomizations are stored per-shop and merged on top of the bundled defaults at runtime, so future app updates that add new strings appear automatically without overwriting anything you've changed.
• ImprovedEmpty fields and values that match the default automatically clear that override on save, keeping the customization list lean.
• ImprovedUnsaved changes show a sticky save bar at the bottom of the page with a count of pending edits, plus Discard and Save buttons. Switching languages while you have unsaved edits prompts a confirmation so changes aren't lost by accident.

v1.32May 2026

Auto Crop Aspect-Ratio Fix

• FixedAuto-cropped images no longer come out squished on the downloaded gang sheet. Previously the cropped dimensions were sent to the server while the image URL still pointed at the uncropped original, so the print pipeline stretched the original to fit the cropped box — designs printed shorter and wider than they looked in the builder. The crop region is now sent alongside the image and the server extracts that exact area before resizing, so the download matches the on-screen preview.
• FixedDuplicating an auto-cropped image (Ctrl+D, the duplicate button in the layers panel and quick-actions bar, the multi-copy grid feature, and Duplicate sheet) now preserves the crop. The duplicate previously kept the cropped look on canvas but reverted to the squished original on download.
• FixedAuto Build images placed with the per-card Auto Crop toggle on now download with the correct aspect ratio. Same root cause as the manual Auto Crop bug, fixed for the bulk flow at the same time.
• FixedSaving an auto-cropped design and re-loading it (or editing it from the cart) now restores the crop visually on the canvas — previously the image came back as the full uncropped version forced into the cropped node, which looked squished.
• ImprovedUndo / redo through a sequence of auto-crops now restores both the snapshot's crop region and the displayed cropped image, so stepping through history matches what the customer saw at each point.

v1.31May 2026

Storefront Builder Translation Polish

• ImprovedRestore Previous Session modal (the auto-save dialog that pops up when a customer returns mid-design) is now fully translated — title, description, the just-now / X minutes / hours / days ago time labels, image and sheet counts, and both Continue Previous Design and Start Fresh buttons all render in the customer's language.
• ImprovedDesigns library modal (the merchant-uploaded designs picker) is fully translated — modal title, All and Uncategorized tabs, empty-category message, load-failure error, the Add to Sheet button, and the live X selected counter on the multi-select footer all respect the storefront locale.
• ImprovedMy Gang Sheets modal now translates each saved design's meta line (image count, sheet count), the No preview placeholder, and the Show sheets expand tooltip. Saved-design dates are also now formatted for the customer's locale instead of always defaulting to U.S. format.
• ImprovedDefault name for a newly saved design (when the customer leaves the name blank) now uses the locale's translation — e.g. Mi Diseño in Spanish, Mein Design in German, マイデザイン in Japanese — instead of always saving as the English fallback.
• ImprovedImage Properties panel (the right sidebar shown when an image is selected) is fully translated — section header, the Width / Height / Pixels labels, the Lock aspect ratio checkbox, and the mobile toggle's screen-reader label.
• ImprovedFloating Copies bar that appears below a selected image is fully translated — the Copies trigger button, the Gap label, the Right and Down direction buttons, and the Go button.
• ImprovedLayers panel is fully translated — Move Up / Move Down / Duplicate / Delete tooltips, the Out of bounds badge on each layer, the X images out of bounds summary, the Not synced warning with its Retry link, and the fallback Image name shown when an upload has no filename.
• ImprovedFloating canvas tooltips (Restore Original Size, Rotate 90°) and the inline Sure? / Confirm delete / Cancel confirmation tooltips on saved designs are now translated. The Favorite / Unfavorite / Delete tooltips on each card in My Images are translated as well.
• ImprovedEverything above is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Japanese — the same six languages as the rest of the app.

v1.30April 2026

Auto Crop

• NewNew Auto Crop button in the floating quick-action menu when an image is selected — removes transparent space around the design in one click so poorly cropped uploads fit tightly on the sheet.
• NewPer-image Auto Crop toggle on each image card in the Auto Build modal. Toggling it on immediately trims transparent pixels and updates the width/height inputs so the packer uses actual content dimensions.
• NewAuto Crop is fully undoable — pressing Undo restores the original uncropped image at its previous size and position.
• ImprovedAuto Build picker (My Images / Designs) now hides the image-card area while browsing, giving the picker grid more room.
• ImprovedSelected count and Add Selected button in the Auto Build picker moved to a sticky footer bar for easier access.
• ImprovedToast notifications now render above the Auto Build modal instead of behind it.
• ImprovedAuto Crop translated across all 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.29April 2026

Print Packing Slips

• NewNew Print packing slip button on every order in the Gang Sheet Orders page — opens the browser print dialog with a clean, paper-friendly slip the merchant can use to fulfill the order or save as a PDF.
• NewBulk Print all packing slips button at the top of the Pending and Downloaded tabs prints every order on the current page in a single dialog, one slip per page.
• NewPacking slips include the merchant's uploaded store logo, large order number, customer and full shipping address, summary chips for total designs and sheets, and a per-design row with thumbnail, size, copies, image count, type tag, and a checkbox the production operator can tick when the sheet is pulled.
• NewCustomer notes (both order-level and per-design sizing instructions) are surfaced on the slip in a highlighted callout so they can't be missed at the press.
• NewPrint packing slip button also added to the Gangio block on the Shopify order details page — one click jumps to Gangio and auto-opens the print dialog for that specific order.
• ImprovedPrint pipeline waits for the logo and all thumbnails to finish loading before opening the dialog (with a 4-second safety cap), so the slip never prints with a missing logo.
• ImprovedPacking slip and bulk-print labels translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.28April 2026

Support for Shopify's 2,048-Variant Products

• NewProducts with more than 100 variants now load fully into Gangio — matching Shopify's October 2025 increase to 2,048 variants per product. Previously the matching page and storefront builder would silently truncate after the first 100, leaving extra variants invisible.
• NewRolling gang sheet mode can now generate configurations of up to 2,048 increment-based variants (e.g. wider length ranges or finer increments), up from the old 100 cap.
• ImprovedLive price sync from Shopify on every storefront builder load now covers every variant, so price changes made directly in Shopify show up regardless of how many variants a product has.
• ImprovedVariant creation during rolling-mode setup now batches in groups of 250 (Shopify's current per-call limit), making large rolling configurations faster to save.
• ImprovedWidth/height auto-fill on the matching page is now stricter and will only pre-fill when a Shopify variant title is a clean "WxH" pattern (e.g. "12x24"). Multi-option titles like "Black / 12x12 / Medium" used to produce garbage values; merchants enter dimensions manually for those.

v1.27April 2026

Smoother Editing on Large Gang Sheets

• ImprovedDramatically smoother dragging, multi-selection, and marquee (rubber-band) selection on very large gang sheets — especially tall sheets like 22" × 300" at full-width zoom, which previously felt laggy.
• ImprovedThe on-screen preview automatically dials back its resolution just enough to keep the editor responsive on big sheets, and dials back a little further while you're actively dragging or selecting. Full crispness returns the moment you let go.
• ImprovedPrint output is unaffected — the optimization only changes what you see on the canvas while editing. Your final downloaded gang sheet is still generated at full 300 DPI print resolution.
• NewNew View options button (gear icon) in the floating zoom bar at the bottom of the canvas — opens a small panel with the new Smooth editing on large sheets toggle.
• NewCustomers who prefer maximum preview crispness over responsiveness can turn the optimization off to always render the canvas at full resolution; the choice is remembered across sessions.
• ImprovedZoom bar is a touch more opaque at rest so it's easier to see without having to hover.
• ImprovedCanvas settings and new toggle copy translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.26April 2026

Gang Sheets on the Shopify Order Page

• NewNew Open in Gangio link in the More actions menu of every Shopify order page — one click jumps straight into Gangio with that order pre-expanded and scrolled into view.
• NewNew Gang sheets sidebar block on the Shopify order page showing every gang sheet attached to the order: thumbnail preview, size and copy count, image count, customer notes, and a status badge (Ready / Downloaded / Pending / File missing).
• NewPer-sheet Download button directly inside the order page block — merchants can grab the print-ready PNG in one click without opening Gangio at all once the sheet has been generated and the usage fee charged.
• NewSummary badge on the sidebar block shows how many of the order's sheets have been downloaded so far (e.g. 2/3 downloaded or All sheets downloaded), so progress is visible at a glance.
• NewResync with Shopify button on the Gang Sheet Orders — Not paid yet tab. If a webhook didn't deliver, one click pulls the most recent 100 Shopify orders and links any missing gang sheets on the spot.
• ImprovedGang sheets sidebar block and the Open in Gangio menu item are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Japanese, matching the rest of the app.
• ImprovedDirect-upload orders (where the customer uploaded a finished sheet at checkout) correctly route the first download through Gangio so the usage fee is charged before the file is handed over — re-downloads remain free and instant.
• ImprovedDeep links from the Shopify order page into Gangio are one-shot: switching tabs, paging, or filtering inside Gangio no longer keeps snapping the view back to the original highlighted order.

v1.25April 2026

Merchant Designs in Auto Build

• NewNew Designs button in the Auto Build modal lets customers pick from the merchant-uploaded Designs Library when one-clicking a gang sheet — no need to close Auto Build, open Designs, add, then reopen.
• NewDesigns picker inside Auto Build mirrors the main Designs Library with category tabs (All, each merchant category, Uncategorized) and multi-select with an Add Selected button.
• ImprovedSelected designs are added directly to the Auto Build list using their already-hosted URLs, so there's no re-upload and quantities, sizes, and DPI checks work just like for uploaded files or My Images picks.
• ImprovedOpening the Designs picker closes the My Images picker (and vice versa) to keep the Auto Build modal tidy on smaller screens.
• ImprovedDesigns button only appears when the merchant has the Designs Library feature enabled in Settings, matching the main builder toolbar behavior.

v1.24April 2026

Broader Cart Thumbnail Theme Support

• NewCart thumbnail swap now works natively on Enterprise, Weaver, and other themes that use lowercase cart-item IDs (cart-item-1, cart-drawer-item-1) — previously only the variant-id fallback was matching.
• NewLine-index matching via data-index inside cart roots so themes that tag quantity inputs or remove links with line numbers get the right thumbnail.
• NewListener for on:line-item:change, on:cart:error, and cart:change events so thumbnails are re-applied after quantity updates on themes that don't dispatch the legacy cart events.
• NewMerchant Custom CSS and Custom JS from the Settings page now also run on cart pages and cart drawers, giving merchants a per-store hook to patch theme-specific quirks without touching the app.
• FixedCarts with two or more line items sharing the same variant now receive their own thumbnails — previously the 2nd+ duplicate line kept the default product image.
• ImprovedCart drawer observer re-attaches automatically when themes inject the drawer late, and again after the first drawer-open click, without globally observing the whole document.
• ImprovedCustom JS is guaranteed to execute only once per page load, even when it's reachable from both the product-page bootstrap and the cart-page bootstrap.

v1.23April 2026

Multi-Currency Support

• NewPrices shown in the merchant admin and storefront builder now automatically use the shop's Shopify currency — UK stores see £, EU stores see €, Japanese stores see ¥, etc., instead of the previously hardcoded $.
• NewCurrency section on the Settings page displays the auto-detected store currency and lets merchants override it with a fallback selector covering 40+ common currencies.
• ImprovedShop currency is re-synced from Shopify automatically so merchants who change their store currency after install see prices update on their next admin visit.
• ImprovedProduct configuration page (size price inputs, rolling base price, per-unit price, price range preview) uses the shop currency symbol everywhere.
• ImprovedAnalytics total order value and storefront Build It price labels now render in the store's currency.

v1.22April 2026

Single Image Sheets

• NewNew Single Image Sheet product mode — perfect for simple DTF transfers where the customer uploads one image, picks a sheet size, adjusts it on the canvas, and chooses how many copies to order.
• NewSheet Type selector on the product configuration page now offers a third option: Single Image Sheet, alongside Fixed Sizes and Rolling Sheet.
• NewSlim, focused storefront editor for the new mode with rulers, drag, resize, rotate-from-center, fit-to-sheet, center, and aspect-ratio lock — no layers, tabs, or extra panels to distract the customer.
• NewPreview background swatches (transparent, white, black, pink, yellow, cyan) so customers can see how their design looks on different shirt colors before checking out. Preview only — never affects the printed transfer.
• NewLive image-size readout and low-DPI warning that update as the customer resizes, so they know exactly how big their print will be and whether the resolution is sufficient.
• NewOut-of-bounds preview — the image can be moved past the sheet edge, and a red warning border + message tells the customer which parts won't print.
• NewSheet type badge on the merchant Products list (Fixed sizes / Rolling sheet / Single image) so the configuration is visible at a glance.
• NewNumber of copies now appears on every order card in the Gang Sheet Orders page, and is included in the downloaded file name.
• ImprovedStorefront product page automatically shows the Upload Image button when a product is configured as Single Image Sheet — merchants no longer have to swap theme blocks per product.
• ImprovedEdit Design link in the cart routes back to the same editor the customer used the first time, with their image, size, and copy count restored.
• ImprovedIf the customer changes the quantity directly on the Shopify cart page, the new copy count is now reflected in the order, the badge, and the downloaded file name.
• ImprovedImage uploads feel instant — the customer sees their design on the canvas immediately while the file uploads in the background.
• FixedPhone JPG photos no longer print squished or rotated — the app now respects the EXIF Orientation tag on upload.
• NewAll new strings translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.21April 2026

Settings Clarity & Upload Defaults

• NewInfo banner on the Build It Button settings section clarifying that theme editor app block customizations override the personalization, with a prompt to contact support for help.
• ImprovedAllow Gang Sheet Upload is now enabled by default for new installs so customers can upload pre-made gang sheets out of the box.
• ImprovedGang sheet upload hint updated to explain that the app assumes 300 DPI images when calculating the gang sheet size (previously framed as a recommendation).
• ImprovedAll new settings copy translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.20April 2026

Onboarding Tutorial for New Customers

• NewSkippable step-by-step tutorial that guides new customers through the editor on their first visit.
• NewFive tutorial steps: Welcome, Select Size, Upload Images, Arrange on Canvas, and Add to Cart.
• NewWelcome step displays the merchant's store logo when available for a branded experience.
• NewTutorial adapts to rolling gang sheet mode with context-specific sizing guidance.
• NewSpotlight highlight effect with animated border pulse on each target element.
• NewSmart card positioning that avoids going off-screen, with directional arrows.
• NewTutorial remembered via localStorage — only shown once, never during order edits or auto-save restores.
• NewAll tutorial strings translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.19April 2026

Store Logo Branding

• NewMerchants can upload a store logo on the Settings page that displays in the gang sheet builder header.
• NewNew Branding section in Settings with drag-and-drop logo upload, preview, and remove.
• NewLogo URL exposed via the proxy settings API for theme extension access.
• NewAll branding strings translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.18April 2026

Rolling Gang Sheets

• NewRolling gang sheet mode — merchants set a fixed width, min/max length, increment, and price-per-unit; the app auto-generates Shopify variants at each step.
• NewRolling builder UI with live length indicator, progress bar, dynamic price display, and charged-length canvas overlay.
• NewPer-product mode toggle — assign fixed sizes to one product and rolling to another independently.
• NewPrice per CM support — merchants using centimeters set pricing in their native unit.
• ImprovedUpload Gang Sheet auto-detects the correct rolling variant by matching the file's height to the nearest increment.
• ImprovedCart and order thumbnails cropped to the charged length only, not the full max-length canvas.
• ImprovedAdaptive ruler tick spacing for long rolling sheets — labels no longer overlap on large canvases.
• ImprovedEdit Design from cart restores the full rolling canvas so images can be freely repositioned.
• FixedVariant picker on rolling product pages now reliably hidden via CSS injection fallback.
• FixedRulers not rendering on initial load in rolling mode until window resize.
• NewAll rolling strings translated across 6 locales (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).

v1.17March 2026

Admin Dashboard Upgrades

• NewRecent upload thumbnails, clickable store names, and sortable columns on the admin dashboard.
• NewPaginated "Load More" button and uploader identity on the admin photos grid.
• NewLatest uploaded photos card on the admin merchant detail page.
• FixedAdmin mobile responsiveness — collapsible sidebar, constrained widths, horizontal-scroll tables.
• FixedEdited order images no longer render at the wrong size (missing canvasScale).
• FixedUpload gang sheet button crash caused by a scoping bug.
• FixedAuto Build no longer uploads duplicate copies of the same image.

v1.16March 2026

Onboarding & Billing Improvements

• NewVideo tutorial card on the dashboard for new merchants.
• NewDashboard setup status now refreshes automatically.
• ImprovedInitial billing cap lowered from $200 to $25 to reduce onboarding friction.
• FixedPhotos disappearing after tapping "Load More" — reset is now scoped to shop change.
• FixedNon-USD billing: fees are converted to USD at charge time with clearer pricing display.

v1.15February 2026

Full Internationalization

• NewComplete i18n for all app pages, the builder proxy, and the theme extension.
• NewMerchant language selector for backend and storefront.

• New"Powered by Gangio" branding link in the builder.
• NewPage builder setup guide for third-party Liquid integration.

• NewClickable store and admin links in all notification emails.
