Cubes
The cube list
Section titled “The cube list”Every cube in your Space. Sort and filter it to find what you need — by type, by tag, by structure membership, by publish state.
Open a cube by clicking its name. Clicking the rest of the row selects it for a bulk action instead of opening it. Hold Shift and click another row or checkbox to select every cube between that click and the one you last selected.
Type, structure, and tag pills in the list also filter it. Click the same pill again to clear that filter.
Bulk actions let you apply a change across several cubes at once. Check the result on one before doing it to fifty.
The Content column
Section titled “The Content column”Flags anything about a cube that needs attention, so you can spot problems across your whole Space without opening each one.
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft cube | The cube itself is a draft — it is off the storefront until you uncheck Draft cube in Settings |
| Drafts | The cube has block edits that have not been published |
| Unpublished view | A version exists whose blocks are not published — shoppers see older published content, or the default-language version if they open that cube |
| Empty order | A version with nothing on it — opening that cube shows the default-language version |
| Excluded | The cube is kept out of the Feed |
| — | Nothing pending |
Unpublished view is the one to act on. It is the case where a cube looks correctly set up but is not actually showing what you think.
Each row carries a star rating from one to five, which you can set directly in the list. It tells the feed ranking that a cube matters more than its neighbours. Clicking the same star again clears it, and home cubes cannot be rated. See What decides the order.
Creating a cube
Section titled “Creating a cube”Cubes come in three types:
| Type | For |
|---|---|
| Product | Something you sell. Keeps an add-to-cart control on its Feed card. |
| Home | The landing surface of your Space. |
| General | Pages, stories, lookbooks, campaigns. |
The type affects how the cube behaves on your storefront, so set it correctly when you create it.
The cube screen
Section titled “The cube screen”Opening a cube gives you a set of tabs:
| Tab | Covered in |
|---|---|
| Blocks | Blocks tab |
| Versions | Versions tab |
| Analytics, Merchandising, Links, Settings, Preview, Danger Zone | Other cube tabs |
Cube settings
Section titled “Cube settings”Title, handle, type, Draft cube / feed exclusion, tags and relations to other cubes. Relations can be cross-sell, up-sell or comparison, and drive suggestions on your storefront.
