Replace Advanced widget with new layouts

Why we made this change?



In the previous version, our app provides you with an Advanced widget which includes Card grid, Card carousel, Testimonial carousel and Media gallery. For more details, when a user clicked on Add to theme in LAI app, it'd redirect him to the Shopify theme editor page where the user needed to take another more step to showcase the widget he desired.



We, as a software developer, recognized that this flow caused users unexpected difficulty in usage, which made us decide to separate the Advanced widget into four specifc layouts which are Card grid, Card carousel, Testimonial carousel and Media gallery.

How it works now?



LAI advanced widget



- This widget is still available for users having been showing this widget online, but will not updated in upcoming version of LAI app.

- You still can:

+ Choose a review source for this layout

+ Customize the widget's appearance

- However, we suggest you migrate your Advanced layout block on Shopify theme editor to our current separated layout. For example, if the current layout is Card grid, it'd be better to add a Card grid block on Shopify theme editor to replace the Advanced layout block. If you need help with this migration, feel free to reach out to our Support team via live chat.
