What's new in March, 2026

Here's your March release roundup!

This month's updates focus on giving you more control over how assets enter your library, expanding creative possibilities with animated content, and refining the building blocks of your brand guidelines. Let's dive in.

Feature spotlight

Motion templates: Create on-brand animated ads directly in Frontify
Animated content like display banners, social GIFs, and HTML5 ads are now table stakes for most campaigns: but producing them has often meant leaving the brand stack or sacrificing governance. Motion templates changes that. For the first time, you can create governed, on-brand animated assets directly inside Frontify. Template admins apply preset animations per layer; end users customize and export.

Enhancements

• Custom metadata on upload: Structure assets from the start
  You can now assign your library's custom metadata properties directly in the upload flow. Custom fields surface automatically based on your library's configuration, so uploaders see exactly what's relevant to them, with permissions and dependency logic already applied.

• Cards grid block: More precision for content-rich layouts
  The cards grid block now includes advanced ratio, alignment, and image behavior settings. You get card and image ratio controls, image auto sizing, horizontal and vertical alignment options, text max width and image ratio settings, and text-on-image support.

• Asset transformations: Logo, icons, and documents
  We've added new transformation capabilities to our logos and icons download flow; Choose between original (static) renditions or convert to multiple other formats. Recolor uni-color SVG icons using approved brand colors. And for documents; convert any single- or multi-page documents to PDF.

Small improvements and bug fixes

• AI auto-tags multi-selection: Auto-tags can now be accepted, removed, and managed across multiple assets and folders at once.
• SSO group mapping: SSO group mapping now automatically adds and removes users at login based on IdP groups, keeping permissions accurate with less admin work.
• Automatic hard-deletion for file transfers: Files shared via the File Transfer App are now automatically hard-deleted, giving customers built-in data retention control for improved security and compliance.
• Figma rate-limiting message: When Figma's API rate-limiting is hit during templates import, a clear message now explains what's happening.
• Image grid download fix: Fixed an issue where assets could still be downloaded from the viewer even when the download toggle was off.
• Asset chooser icon spacing: Icons in the asset chooser are no longer too close to the text.
• More UI languages available in Frontify: Additional translations are now live across the UI, expanding language support and improving accessibility for global users.
• Theme footer improvements: The theme footer now includes new customization options, including color scheme settings, for greater design flexibility.
