Latest Updates

Updated July 16, 2026.

This page summarizes the current Fit Check documentation highlights for merchants working with the latest theme version.

  • Portrait + Cover is the shipped/default gallery mode for new/default product galleries. The fixed portrait frame maximizes and centers within each column and the available section height, cropping each source inside the frame.
  • Auto + Cover remains the gap-free mode. Equal-width 1-, 2-, and 3-column desktop slots use the complete available Product details section height and crop each source within its slot.
  • Fixed Portrait, Square, and Landscape frames keep their selected shape and use Cover to crop or Fit to preserve the complete source.
  • A fixed ratio can intentionally leave space above and below the frame, especially with Square or Landscape and 2–3 desktop columns. Reduce it through Product details > Section height > Custom and adjust Custom height.
  • Auto + Fit preserves each uploaded image’s natural aspect ratio without cropping.
  • Mobile remains a one-column swipe carousel and respects the selected ratio and Cover/Fit behavior; Hint pagination can show part of the next slide without forcing a crop.
  • Image and video Product link blocks now include Product link action. Keep the default Open product page behavior or choose Open quick add for product-backed cards.
  • Custom URLs always open their assigned destination. Quick add uses the existing purchase modal for applicable options and purchase controls, supports keyboard close/focus return, and keeps a product-page link available if purchase options cannot load.
  • Version 1.1.0 is a backward-compatible minor update because it changes merchant-visible gallery behavior, changes the default for new/default gallery blocks, and adds the opt-in Product link action setting. Existing saved setting IDs, values, types, and options remain compatible; public CSS classes and the purchase flow are unchanged.
