Smarter autocomplete for narrow searches
2026-05-28
What is it?
Autocomplete now adapts to the size of the search space (the number of products that match the search query to be expanded). When a query matches only a small number of products, Elevate no longer generates additional expansions — because suggesting variations of a term that leads nowhere isn't helpful to the shopper.
Why do I need it?
The result is a cleaner, more honest autocomplete experience. Shoppers see fewer but more meaningful suggestions, reducing dead-end searches and keeping them on the path to products that actually exist in your catalogue.
Boost by tag
2026-05-28
What is it?
Boost by tag lets you apply predefined boosts to landing pages and category pages by passing a campaign tag with the page request.
For example, if a visitor lands on a category page from a URL containing utm_campaign=tiktok_summer, the site integration can read the value of utm_campaign and pass tiktok_summer in campaignTag as part of LandingPageParams. If a boost with the same tag name exists, Elevate applies that boost to the product listing.
This requires an integration update. Elevate does not automatically read URL parameters from the browser. The site integration must extract the relevant query parameter value and pass it in campaignTag on landing page and category page requests.
Why do I need it?
You can now tailor landing page and category page product listings based on campaign traffic, audience segments, A/B tests, or other external context. This makes it easier to align merchandising with marketing campaigns and customer segments without creating separate pages or hardcoded ranking logic for each scenario.
Pages open in view mode by default
2026-05-21
What is it?
Pages in Experience → Pages now open in a read-only view by default. This means you can always open and view a page, even if someone else is editing it. When you need to make changes, click Start edit at the top of the page to go into edit mode.
Why do I need it?
You can now open and review pages without interrupting colleagues who are already making changes, making collaboration smoother across teams. This update will prevent accidental edit conflicts and "Cluster Unavailable" errors when you are just viewing a page.
New Personalization report
2026-04-13
What is it?
The Personalization Report shows how personalization is used across your site and highlights the performance metrics driven by personalized ranking in both Search and Navigation.
Why do I need it?
You get a clear view of how personalization contributes to your business by tracking its impact on clicks, add-to-carts, and purchases. With funnel metrics for both Search and Navigation, you can analyze the full customer journey and identify where personalization performs best. Built-in recommendations also help you interpret the data and set the right expectations for what personalization is designed to achieve.
Schedule pending page changes
2026-04-09
Scheduled Changes lets you prepare updates to any page and set an exact hour for them to go live — without having to be available when they publish. Whether you're planning a campaign launch, a seasonal refresh, or a product highlight, you can set it up in advance and trust that it will go live exactly when you need it to.
Any change you can make to a page can be scheduled: merchandising rules, pins, slice configurations, and page settings. Once a scheduled change is saved, it remains in a pending state until the set time, and you can review, edit, or cancel it at any point before it publishes.
Integration imports overview
2026-04-08
The new Imports view gives integrators a structured overview of catalog imports into Elevate. No more digging through logs. Import rates, statuses, and failure details are now available in one place.
The new view is available now under Integration > Imports.
In-session personalization for Category and Landing pages
2026-03-30
We’ve introduced in-session personalization for category and landing pages, allowing you to tailor product listings in real time based on each shopper’s behaviour.
You can make listings more relevant using existing data, with no additional setup. Rankings adapt dynamically, helping shoppers find what they’re looking for faster and leading to earlier clicks, more direct navigation, and improved conversion.
Positioned slices
2026-03-26
Positioned slices let you assign up to 5 products from a product set to specific positions in the list — for example, positions 1, 3, and 5. Each position is filled by the most relevant product from that set.
This blends curated picks seamlessly into the overall product listing, rather than grouping them together in a block like sequential slices do.
Standardized number formatting
2026-03-25
We’re introducing standardized number formatting across all dashboards and reports, aligned with EU guidelines and ISO standards.
This ensures data is presented in a consistent and predictable format, making it easier to read and interpret. It also reduces the risk of misinterpreting values, especially in reports and percentages.
Color and shape improvements in Add to Cart recommendations
2026-03-23
We’ve improved Add to Cart recommendations with better color matching and support for suggesting products in different shapes.
You can now surface products that reflect both color similarity and variation in shape, making them more relevant and appealing. This is especially useful for assortments with few product types but strong variation in attributes like color and form (for example, rugs), helping increase engagement and conversion.
Autocomplete improvements: improved grammar and complete phrases
2026-03-17
We’ve improved autocomplete by fixing grammatical errors and ensuring suggestions are complete, so they no longer end with function words like “with”, “on”, or “and”.
This provides more natural and reliable suggestions that are easier to understand, improving the search experience and helping users find what they’re looking for more efficiently.
Fallback language - semantic collisions
2026-03-13
We’ve introduced a fallback language guardrail that prevents semantic collisions by blocking fallback reinterpretation when a query is already confidently matched to a product type in the default language.
This improves precision in multilingual environments by avoiding incorrect matches caused by false cognates or overlapping meanings. It ensures fallback enhances recall without overriding correct interpretations, improving both relevance and consistency.
Next-generation Add-to-Cart intelligence
2026-03-10
Add-to-cart intelligence in Voyado Elevate creates relevant product recommendations at the exact moment a shopper adds an item to their cart. It uses our proprietary Synergy Framework and site-specific training to present complementary products that naturally belong with the selected item.
Use add-to-cart recommendations to increase average order value, items per order, and overall session revenue by capturing shoppers in a high-intent moment. The system evaluates multiple signals, such as behavioral associations, product relationships, brand affinity, price structure, and compatibility, to ensure recommendations remain commercially relevant, even in long-tail or data-sparse environments. Because the model is trained per site and designed to handle shifting assortments and seasonal changes, you get stable, adaptive recommendation quality without relying on manual merchandising rules.
Content search refresh
2026-03-06
We’ve introduced a series of improvements to content search to make results more consistent, transparent, and reliable, including updates to ranking logic, autocomplete behavior, and content scoring.
You get more predictable and relevant search results, with autocomplete no longer suppressing other valid matches. This makes it easier for users to discover the right content while giving you clearer and more accurate explanations of how results are ranked. Overall, these changes improve stability and consistency in how content search behaves.
Convert page local facets into a template
2026-03-05
To streamline the use of facet templates, we've made it possible to add a template from within the primary list settings editor, without having to navigate to facet templates section, and quickly connect it to the edited page.
- While in the Primary list editor, open facet settings and click Convert to template button in the Local page facets.
- Enter template name and then confirm to apply it.
- The set of local facets should now disappear and the template will be selected in the dropdown menu.

Autocorrect improvements
2026-02-05
We’ve improved autocorrect to better handle common typing mistakes, including transposed letters, duplicate characters, and adjacent key presses on the keyboard.
You get more accurate search results even when users make small typing errors, helping them find the right content faster. This reduces friction in the search experience and improves overall usability by making search more forgiving and reliable.
Facet template improvements
2026-02-03
You can now manage facet templates more efficiently with multi-select and “select all” options in the Facet Template editor, along with improved sorting controls and faster drag-and-drop performance.
These updates significantly reduce the time and effort required to create and maintain facet templates, especially when working with large catalogs or complex filtering setups. By allowing you to select multiple facets at once, reorder them with greater precision, and work without performance lag, the experience becomes faster, smoother, and less repetitive.
