Newly implemented Shopify features - Roll out schedule or Announcements

Under the hood of my shopify site (www.culinarysolvent.com), making changes, happy with the general flow and user interface provided by Shopify. As I’m scrolling down my product pages to make some changes, I notice that I can now link images/youtube/vimeo (vs previously just uploading jpgs) to be featured on the product page. Awesome! I will use this feature.

My question to the community: Is there a place on the web, or a newsletter to subscribe to, that will give me a heads up on the changes/features added to the back end by Shopify? Currently, I discover new changes/features as I am working on the site, and effectively stumble upon them accidentally. Ideally there will be a website or newsletter announcing the changes made so that the users can take full advantage of them right away. Any strategies or websites to bookmark would be appreciated. thank you!

Hi there, @MrTincture !

Thank you for your post, I’m so glad to hear that you’re interested in Shopify platform updates.

Currently, your best bet is checking the Shopify Changelog, which is a chronological feed of updates to Shopify. Changelog posts also provide context about the changes that we make to our platform. Currently, there isn’t an email list about updates or a way to subscribe to the Changelog, but I’ve gone ahead and submitted a future feature request on your behalf and shared your feedback with our developers. I’m sure plenty of other merchants and Shopify users would benefit from being able to subscription to Changelog updates, so hopefully that is a feature that is added!

Thank you again for your post, and please let me know if you have any questions.
