administrators can now create and manage multiple preflight profiles based on different production and print requirements a dedicated preflight profiles option has been introduced on the print products listing page, allowing admins to configure file validation rules more efficiently for different product categories and workflows within the preflight profiles section, admins can create a new

automatically analyzes the file in the background if preflight validation is enabled for that product, customers will see a file info option within the upload center preflight information is available only for standard upload flows and print ready files it does not apply to cloud uploads, quote artwork uploads, or additional option files by opening the file info, customers can view important warnings or recommendations related to their uploaded file in a simple and easy to understand format instead of displaying complex technical details, the system provides user friendly guidance that helps customers quickly understand what needs attention before proceeding further when the uploaded file matches the profiles assigned, the system shows a pass review tag flexible otp login as primary or secondary option managing customer login preferences is now more flexible with the introduction of configurable otp based authentication for b2c storefronts this enhancement allows store owners to decide how otp login is presented to users, instead of limiting it to a fixed secondary option alongside the standard email and password login with this update, admins can configure otp login with the existing enable otp login site configuration setting at the store level with three options enabling it as a secondary login method, setting it as the primary login option, or disabling it entirely when enabled as a secondary option (yes), the default login remains email and password, with otp available as an alternative if set as yes(default login method) primary option, otp login is displayed by default on page load, while password login continues to be available as a fallback when disabled, only the standard email and password login is shown the otp login flow allows users to enter their email or username, receive a one time password via email or sms (if configured), and log in after successful validation the existing password based login and customer registration workflows remain unchanged, ensuring a smooth transition without impacting current user behavior this enhancement provides greater flexibility and control over authentication methods, enabling store owners to tailor the login experience while maintaining security and convenience for end users minor enhancements intelligent store recommendation by location the system can now automatically detect a visitor’s
