  1. Feature v2026.Q3.0

    Designer release: VDP, empty canvas, SVG layers, QR codes, and more

    • Variable Data Printing (VDP): mark text fields on the canvas, upload a CSV or Excel file, and generate a personalized design per row — ideal for business cards, name badges, and mail-merge print runs.
    • Empty Canvas: start a design from a blank artboard sized to the product (e.g. business cards) instead of a template.
    • SVG layer separation on upload: each element becomes its own layer, so customers can recolor individual parts of an uploaded SVG in the browser.
    • Default text templates: ready-made, categorized text designs (Headlines, Quotes, Sports, Events, Business, Script) placed in one click.
    • Design sharing (Canva-style): share a design by link with view or "can customize" access, invite collaborators by email, or post to WhatsApp, email, and social.
    • QR Code generator: create a QR code from any URL or custom text, recolor it, and place it on the product as a print-ready element.
    • Live DPI check: effective DPI is calculated against the product’s real print size with a clear Good / low-resolution verdict before checkout.
    • CMYK color conversion added to the print workflow for more predictable proof-to-press color.
    • Improved mobile responsiveness across the designer — a touch-first layout for phones and tablets.
    • Multilingual designer UI now covers English, French, German, and Arabic (RTL-aware).
  2. Feature v2026.Q2.0

    3D preview: upload custom models, multi-language UI expansion

    • Shops can now upload custom 3D models (glTF, OBJ, FBX) for products that don't ship with a stock model. UV-unwrapped meshes work out of the box.
    • Multi-language UI added Polish, Vietnamese, and Hebrew. Now 14 languages total, RTL-aware for Arabic and Hebrew.
    • Designer renderer rewrite: 40–60% lower mobile battery drain, 25% faster first-paint on the designer surface.
  3. Improvement v2026.Q1.4

    Bulk CSV designer: preview up to 50 rows

    • The bulk-order CSV flow previously rendered the first 3 rows as preview designs. Expanded to 10 by default, configurable up to 50.
    • Customers can now catch column-mapping issues before submitting jobs of any size.
  4. Feature v2026.Q1.3

    QuickBooks Online direct integration

    • Native QuickBooks integration: orders push as invoices, payments as received payments, refunds as credit memos.
    • Removes the previous Zapier intermediary and its monthly subscription.
    • Configurable income accounts per product category.
  5. Improvement v2026.Q1.2

    Admin dashboard: customer-segment reports

    • New report set: revenue, AOV, order frequency, and repeat-customer rate broken down by new-vs-returning, cohort, storefront, country, and custom tags.
    • Every report exports as CSV for downstream analysis.
  6. Fix v2026.Q1.1

    Print-ready PDF: PDF/X-4 transparency handling

    • Fixed a regression where transparency flattening on PDF/X-1a output occasionally dropped spot color overprints.
    • PDF/X-4 output (transparency-preserved) is now the recommended target for digital presses with full ICC color management.
  7. Feature v2026.Q1.0

    Brand-kit constraints for B2B portals

    • B2B clients can now configure brand kits: approved fonts, color palette, logo files, photography.
    • Templates inside a kit enforce these constraints on customer-facing personalization.
    • Approval rates on first proof up ~30% across early-access customers.
  8. Breaking v2025.Q4.5

    Sanity Studio v3 → v4 migration path

    • Sanity announced a v4 release for July 2026. PrintIntegrator v2026.Q1.0+ stays on Sanity v3 with auto-update path tested.
    • No customer action required; existing schemas are forward-compatible.
    • Studios deployed before this version should run `pnpm install` and redeploy after 2026-07-15.
  9. Feature v2025.Q4.4

    Multi-vendor print network routing

    • Route jobs to multiple production partners based on geography, capacity, capability, or cost.
    • Per-partner cost tracking; margin reports by partner, product, and region.
    • Available on Enterprise tier.
