New Admin Experience — light & dark mode: We've refreshed the admin with a cleaner, more modern design — the foundation for improvements we'll keep rolling out over the coming months. The biggest new addition is theme support: the admin matches your device's system preference automatically, and if you sign in with ECI identity, your chosen mode is saved across sessions and devices. Every feature works the same way and lives in the same place, and your storefront and customers are completely unaffected. The new design is opt-in now; on August 1 it becomes the default for everyone.

Product Keywords now drive relevance. All three recipes now give strong weight to the AI-generated Product Keywords field. These keywords are curated specifically for search (and never shown on the storefront), so they're a cleaner signal of what a product is than free-text content — helping shoppers find the right item even when their wording doesn't match the product name exactly.

Product Description is no longer searched by default. Descriptions are written for marketing rather than search and were introducing low-value matches. Removing them sharpens result quality. Keywords, Name, Category, and SKU now carry the search.

Product Attributes no longer flood results. In the previous Rich Content recipe, attribute values (such as colour or size) were weighted as heavily as SKU, which could push loosely related products above exact matches. Attributes are now de-emphasised so that Name, Category, and Keyword matches rank where shoppers expect them.

Clearer separation between recipes so it's easier to pick the right starting point for your catalogue and data quality.

More effective with AI Search. Popularity Boost now works on top of the AI Powered Search released this year. Because AI Search casts a wider, more accurate net there's a larger, cleaner set of genuinely relevant products for the boost to rank. The result is that your best-selling and most-ordered items rise to the top of relevant results more reliably, without popular-but-unrelated products being pulled into the mix.

Important: Popularity Boost only amplifies relevance — it can never surface a product that doesn't match the search term. To benefit from the boost, Store Preferences → Product Search Sort must be set to Relevance.

Quick Order CSV import — up to 500 items and import progress: Stores with the quickorder-batch-import pre-release flag can import up to 500 line items from a single CSV in Quick Order. During import, a progress bar shows how many items have been processed (for example, "120 / 500 items") so large files are easier to track.

TIMS and DDMS Combined Order View: The Combined Order View groups all backorders from the same Web Order ID into a single view, making it easier to understand orders that are split into multiple backorders (common in TIMS and DDMS).

Quick Order CSV import — skipped items report: Partial CSV imports now display a row-by-row table in the import modal for every line that was not added to Quick Order, including CSV row, product code, quantity, and reason.

Remittance status, timeline, and status changes: We've enhanced remittance management in Admin with a new Cancelled status, improved visibility in list and detail views, and a "Change Status" pop-up that allows authorized users to update statuses to Processed, Applied, or Cancelled, with a required reason when cancelling, plus a timeline to track all status changes.

Spruce | Address State Field Mapping: A new Address State Field Mapping setting is now available, allowing stores to use either the standard Spruce State field or the Spruce Delivery Point field as the State value in EvolutionX.
