# January 2026
This month’s release introduces key features designed to elevate your user experience.
Even though the winter chill is still here, our team has been heating things up with some exciting progress! We have officially launched several new features designed to streamline your workflow and brighten your season.
### Generate PowerPoints from publications
Your data just got a glow-up. Say goodbye to the "death by PowerPoint" manual grind. You can now generate dynamic presentations directly from your product specs. It is your data, just dressed up and ready for the boardroom.
You can learn more about how to set up a PowerPoint publication in [our guides](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-publications.md).
### Hotspots on assets
{% columns %}
{% column width="50%" %}
The introduction of Hotspots unlocks a new dimension of versatility for your PIM asset management. By allowing you to embed rich, contextual data directly onto specific elements within an image, this feature empowers you to curate sophisticated "Shop-the-Look" experiences.
This transition from static imagery to interactive content not only maximizes the value of your digital assets but also creates a more immersive journey for your end users.

### Add "Category" as an entity on "Distribution chart" widget
{% columns fullWidth="false" %}
{% column %}
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
We are pleased to introduce an enhanced layer of granularity to the Distributed Chart dashboard widget. By integrating category-level insights, the widget now transcends basic data visualization, offering a multidimensional view of your ecosystem.
Whether you seek to identify emerging trends or optimize resource allocation, the power to define the narrative of your data is now entirely in your hands.
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
### Multi file-format for data templates now supported
Now supporting all the ways you work, and everyone you work with.
Your product data should not be trapped in one format. Whether you’re crunching numbers in a spreadsheet with XLSX or CSV, feeding a custom application via JSON or XML, or heading into a high-stakes meeting with our brand-new PPTX generator, we have the right output for the job.
Simply pick the format that matches your mission and let Struct PIM handle the heavy lifting.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Fun fact: When a giant hornet attacks a hive, honeybees don’t panic… they get creative.**
When a giant hornet attacks a honeybee hive, the bees don’t sting it into submission. Instead, they do something far more unexpected: they swarm the intruder in a tight ball—sometimes hundreds of bees at once—and heat it up.\
By vibrating their flight muscles, the bees raise the temperature inside the “bee ball” to around 46°C (115°F)—hot enough to overwhelm the hornet, while the bees survive comfortably. It’s basically a coordinated, high-intensity group defense powered by teamwork and precision.
The secret isn’t brute force. It’s **smart coordination**.
Honeybees remind us what Struct PIM helps teams do best: stay aligned, work together, and keep product data under control—even when things get intense.
🐝🔥\
***Battle lesson from the hive:** structure wins. Struct PIM keeps product data consistent and organized, so teams stay in control—even when chaos buzzes nearby.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.struct.com/changelog/january-2026.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
