Feature Workflow
In Catalog Customizations, the Email Branding link is renamed to Branding [1] and includes fields for Custom CSS and Custom JS [2].
To enable these custom scripts, admins must configure the settings by using the Load custom CSS and custom JS on Storefront drop-down menu [1].
Root Catalog Level: Admins can select either Yes [2] or No [3].
Subcatalog Level: Admins have independent control and can select (inherit parent setting) [1], Yes [2], or No [3].
When this setting is enabled, the account loads custom CSS, custom JS, and jQuery. However, the Modern Storefront does not automatically loadjQuery UI, jQuery Migrate, or Bootstrap’s JS.
Notes:
- The warning that previously advised against using custom scripts on the Modern Storefront is removed from the Storefront page.
- Please note that admins take full responsibility for the continuous upkeep of custom CSS and JavaScript. Canvas Catalog does not take any responsibility for conflicts caused by custom CSS or JavaScript as updates and improvements are made to the Canvas Catalog code base.
