# April 2026
From a more intuitive classification system to optimized search indexing for faster results, we’re stripping away the friction in your daily operations.
We have also introduced custom Excel templates for tailored exports and added catalogue selection for your publication prints, giving you total control over how your information is presented. April’s enhancements are designed to keep your PIM environment organized, agile, and ready for growth.
### Introducing the brand new app store
Browse, install, and scale. Your PIM just got an upgrade.
We are thrilled to unveil the Struct App Store - your new hub for extending the power of your PIM. This isn't just an update; it’s a whole new way to customize your PIM with one-click simplicity. Starting today, you can instantly bridge the gap between your data and your storefront.
#### Build your own custom apps
While the app store comes packed with ready-to-use integrations, we know that your business has unique needs. That’s why we have launched a comprehensive [app developer documentation](/developer/app-integration.md) section designed to turn your ideas into functional tools.
Whether you want to build a custom connector, automate a niche data validation, or create a bespoke UI extension, our new developer resource provides everything you need to get under the hood:
* **Robust SDK:** Streamlined tools to get your environment set up in minutes.
* **Step-by-Step Guides:** Go from a blank canvas to a live, functional integration in record time, simply by following the guides.
* **Best Practices:** Detailed documentation on authentication, webhooks, and UI components to ensure your apps are as stable as the core platform.
Don't just wait for the feature you need, build it. Dive into the app developer documentation today and start shaping the future of your Struct PIM.

### File templates for export
Instead of adjusting your workflow to fit a standard data dump, you can now upload your own Excel file directly into the mapping configuration. Struct PIM will use your file as a blueprint, letting you map PIM data directly into specific columns and headers you’ve already defined. Your exports come out pre-formatted and ready for use, exactly as you designed them.

### New business rule: Classification changed
Take automation to the next level with our newest business rule trigger: Classification Changed. Now available for both Products and Variants, this trigger allows you to fire specific actions the moment they are reclassified.
Whether you need to reset attributes, update naming conventions, or notify team members when a product moves to a new category, this update ensures your workflows stay synchronized with your data structure automatically.

### Other highlights this month
* You can now point at a catalogue in your publication prints instead of only categories.
* Optimization of the search index to make the search experience feel faster and smoother.

**Fun Fact: Giraffes Hum in Their Sleep**
Giraffes only sleep between 20 minutes and 2 hours a day — usually in tiny naps spread throughout the night. And when they do sleep deeply, scientists have discovered they sometimes make soft humming sounds.
Nobody knows exactly why.
Maybe it’s how giraffes relax.\
Maybe it’s how they stay connected.\
Or maybe even giraffes need a little quiet processing time after spending all day keeping an eye on everything.
For animals that are constantly alert, sleep is less about switching off completely — and more about **staying balanced** while the world keeps moving.
🦒💤
**Battle lesson from giraffes:** *when things move fast, structure and awareness matter. Struct PIM helps teams keep product data organized, connected, and easy to navigate — so everything stays calm, clear, and ready to move, even during the busiest days.*
P.S. If your PIM team starts surviving on only 20 minutes of sleep, it might be time to bring a little more structure into the herd.
