🛡️Protect Brand Assets and Simplify Compliance with Asset Watermarking

Type: New | Feature: Governance Data quality Automation | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Protect your media assets effortlessly during transformations by automatically applying logos, copyright notices, or compliance markings across your image variations. This new capability streamlines asset preparation directly inside your transformation pipelines, ensuring consistent brand protection as media travels across all channels.

• Centralized media management - Connect watermarks to an existing asset so updates to a single logo instantly reflect across all future transformations.

• Precise visual control - Customize placement across 9 distinct positions with flexible settings for size, opacity, and margins that scale consistently across master files and thumbnails.

• Automated compliance - Easily apply required compliance disclosures—such as official EU AI Act markings—onto AI-manipulated or generated imagery automatically.

💡 Why it matters:

• Protect your brand at scale when sharing assets with distributors and marketplaces.
• Accelerate time-to-market by eliminating repetitive image-editing steps before distribution.
• Simplify compliance with evolving requirements without building custom asset-processing pipelines.

✨ Turn Standalone Products into Product Models—Faster

Type: Improvement | Feature: Governance Productivity Scalability | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

In June, we introduced new capabilities to make product and variant modeling more flexible. This month, we're making it much easier to put that flexibility into practice—especially when onboarding existing catalogs.

With Product Model Suggestions, Akeneo can now continuously identify standalone products that could belong together and suggest how to structure them into Product Models.

Instead of manually reviewing thousands of products to determine which ones represent variants of the same product, configure the criteria that define your models—such as Family, Brand, Collection, Range, or Product Name—and let the PIM surface potential groupings for you.

• 🤖 Get automatic grouping suggestions based on the criteria and grouping keys you define.
• 👀 Preview the resulting hierarchy before making changes, including the products that would become variants.
• ⚠️ Identify data conflicts upfront so they can be resolved before restructuring your catalog.
• ⚡ Turn suggestions into models in just a few clicks with the new “Group under a new Product Model” bulk action.

💡 Why it matters

For catalogs originating from ERPs and other systems, products often arrive as thousands of standalone records—even when they represent variations of the same product. Structuring them manually can become a major catalog onboarding project.

Product Model Suggestions helps turn that months-long modeling exercise into an assisted, scalable process, so teams can take advantage of richer product hierarchies much faster.

✨ Small Enhancements, Smoother Everyday Work

Type: Improvement | Feature: Governance Productivity Scalability | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium 

Sometimes the smallest improvements make a noticeable difference in your day-to-day experience. This month brings several enhancements across navigation, search, exports, and product editing—helping you find what you need faster, work with greater confidence, and keep your product data better governed.

👀 A Smoother, Smarter PIM Experience

Small UX improvements, fewer clicks, less searching.

• 🧩 See variant results consolidated by Product Model
  The Advanced Product Grid introduces a new “Consolidated by Model” display mode. Search and filter across products, sub-models and variants while viewing results grouped at the Product Model level, with a new Matches indicator showing how many items within each hierarchy match your criteria. Perfect for navigating large, complex catalogs without getting lost in individual variants.

• 🔎 Search product information, not just attributes
  Search in the Advanced Product Edit Form now goes deeper: in addition to attribute labels and codes, you can search directly for attribute values. Results update across attribute groups as you type, while Matches Only mode, result counts and keyboard navigation help you jump straight to the information you need. No more endless scrolling through complex product forms.
• 🧭 See everywhere an attribute is used—in one place
  Rules are now integrated directly into the attribute Usage tab, alongside Families, Variant Axes, Catalogs, AI Configurations, Readiness and other dependencies. One place to understand exactly where an attribute is being used before you modify it.

• 🔄 Stay up to date while you work
  The Product Edit Form now automatically detects product updates made elsewhere—from imports and APIs to triggered rules—while you're working. New values refresh automatically when they don't conflict with your current edits; when they do, you stay in control and can choose whether to refresh. Less manual refreshing, less risk of working with outdated information.

⚙️ Cleaner Exports, Stronger Governance

• 👻 Say goodbye to “ghost” attributes in your exports
  CSV and XLSX exports can now automatically exclude values belonging to attributes that are no longer part of a product's family. Instead of manually maintaining export columns as your data model evolves, your exports can simply follow the current family model—keeping downstream files cleaner and more consistent with the data you actually govern in the PIM.

💡 Why it matters

Together, these enhancements mean less scrolling, less manual checking, cleaner exports and greater confidence in the data you're working with—small changes that make managing complex catalogs noticeably easier every day.

🛍️ Bring Trusted Product Information to Everyone with Digital Showroom

Type: Improvement | Feature: Governance Productivity Scalability | Packaging: Growth Advanced Premium | 📖 Read the doc

Not everyone who needs product information works in the PIM. Digital Showroom gives your internal teams a simple, visual and always up-to-date way to browse, search, present, share and export trusted product information from Akeneo Product Cloud.

Whether it’s Sales preparing for a customer meeting, Marketing looking for the latest assets, Customer Service checking product details, or other teams simply needing easy access to your catalog, Digital Showroom turns your governed product information into an experience designed for consumption.

And over the past two months, we’ve made that experience even more flexible:

• 📤 More tailored exports — Choose the attributes to include in each export, with dedicated product limits for Excel, PDF and private showroom sharing.
• 🎛️ More control over what users see — Drag and drop attribute groups, attributes and gallery filters into the right order, customize the attributes displayed directly on product cards, and choose which categories appear in each portfolio navigation.

💡 Why it matters

Digital Showroom helps you extend the value of the product information you've worked hard to govern beyond the people managing it—giving more teams easy access to the trusted content they need, without giving everyone access to the PIM.
