The custom.faqs collection metafield must be created as List of entries. Shopify cannot convert a saved One-type definition to a list, so it has to be deleted and recreated.
FAQ item blocks should not have dynamic sources connected to their Question and Answer fields. The theme reads metafields directly.
Put the Heading or Question field first in a metaobject definition. Shopify labels every entry by its first field, so an Icon field at the top makes the picker unreadable.
Metaobject definitions describe a single item. One FAQ definition holds one question and one answer; one Benefit definition holds one card. Repeating the fields does not create more entries.
Section headings only render when there is content beneath them, so a collection with no metafield entries shows no empty section.

Gift wrapping: optional checkbox and message field on both the cart page and cart drawer, stored as cart attributes so it reaches the order and confirmation email
Pre-order: template-driven detection, an updated button label, a cart badge, and a line item property that carries the status through to checkout and the order
Fixed: line item properties (used by gift wrapping, pre-order, and gift card recipient fields) were being silently dropped on Add to cart specifically — Buy it now worked because it submits the form natively, Add to cart goes through the cart API and wasn't forwarding them. All three now work through either path.

New "All blogs combined" and "Grouped by blog" modes for stores running more than one blog, with per-page scope control so aggregating doesn't take over every individual blog's own listing

Fixed: several of the collection page's scripts and styles lived in snippet files, where Shopify silently discards {% javascript %} and {% stylesheet %} — so filtering, sorting, Quick Add, and swatches had never actually run. Moved into section-level and global assets where Shopify does process them.
Fixed: the price slider's recalculated bounds could get submitted as an active filter on the next action, silently narrowing results after any filter change. Price is now only sent when a shopper has genuinely touched it.
Fixed: an active price filter had no way to display or clear — it now shows as a chip like any other active filter.
Fixed: the sort dropdown's default value was being added to every filter URL, which could return a partial result set when clearing the last filter. Only an explicit choice is sent now.

Product-level FAQ schema, parsed from a Q: ... / A: ... formatted metafield rather than requiring structured fields
Fixed: collection FAQ answers sourced from a metaobject's rich text field were rendering as raw structured data in the schema output instead of the answer text

Focal point support: product, collection, and article images now respect the focal point set in Shopify's image picker or Files, rather than always cropping to center
Fixed: images could flash their alt text visibly while loading, most noticeable on lazy-loaded images scrolling into view

Added the missing app block to the featured product section (main product already had one)
Corrected three navigation settings that lacked the required default menu
Explicit alt text added where several images had none
