What’s new

Collections now include modification author tracking, so you can immediately see who last updated a collection — directly in the dashboard.

For each collection, you’ll now see:

• The name and email of the last person who modified it (when available)
• A “Using API” label if the most recent update came via the API
• A “-” if the collection was last updated before author tracking began (January 2026)

Availability

Available now for all Collections customers (included as part of Collections).

Why it matters

Collections are often managed by multiple merchandisers (and sometimes in an automated way). When something changes unexpectedly, figuring out who made the last edit — and how it happened — can turn into detective work.

With author tracking, teams can:

• Resolve questions faster by seeing the last editor at a glance
• Reduce back-and-forth internally (“Was this you or me?”)
• Spot API-driven changes immediately, so automated updates don’t look like mysterious human edits

Technical limitations

• Author tracking is available only for modifications made from January 2026 onward.
• We currently track only the most recent modifier (not the full edit history).
