A Few UX Suggestions for GemPages Layer Tree

Hi GemPages Team, I hope you're doing well! I've recently started using GemPages for Shopify, and I wanted to reach out because I've been genuinely enjoying the experience. The platform is powerful, intuitive, and has made building pages much faster than I expected. As a UI/UX and Product Designer with over 10 years of experience designing digital products, I naturally pay close attention to user workflows and interaction patterns. While working on a few projects, I noticed a couple of opportunities that I believe could further improve the editing experience, particularly within the Layer Tree. Figma file: https://www.figma.com/design/WoxmzHfqzKGj01r5YIPIEa/GemPages?node-id=1-4133&t=pB3D9TTWVz1j96zX-1 1. More Compact Layer Tree The current Layer Tree occupies a significant portion of the canvas area. A more compact version could help users maintain better visibility of the page while still navigating through sections and elements efficiently. 2. Visible Drag Handle for Better Discoverability Adding a dedicated drag handle (such as a six-dot icon) beside layers could make drag-and-drop functionality more obvious, especially for new users. This follows common UX patterns found in modern design and no-code tools, improving discoverability and reducing friction. 3. Resizable Layer Tree Panel For larger pages with deep hierarchies, the fixed panel width can make navigation difficult, as layer names become truncated and nested structures harder to understand. Allowing users to resize the panel would provide greater flexibility and significantly improve the experience when managing complex page structures. These are relatively small enhancements, but I believe they could have a meaningful impact on usability, particularly for designers, agencies, and power users who work with larger projects. I created these concepts simply because I've enjoyed using the product and wanted to contribute some ideas that might be valuable for the team. Thank you for building such a great tool, and I appreciate your time reviewing these suggestions. I'd be happy to discuss any of the ideas further if they're useful. Wishing the team continued success! Best regards, Zozimo Soares UI/UX & Product Designer

Assign Product Page Templates by Collection

I would like to request a feature that allows product page templates to be assigned at the collection level rather than having to assign a template manually to each individual product. At the moment, if I want certain products to use a specific GemPages product template I need to assign that template product by product. This becomes time-consuming especially when continuously adding new products to the store. The ideal functionality would be: When a product is added to a specific collection, it should automatically use the product page template assigned to that collection. For example, if I assign a custom GemPages template to the β€œShoes” collection, then any existing or newly added products within that collection should automatically use that same template without needing to be updated manually. This would be very useful for stores with large catalogues or frequently added products, as it would save a lot of time and help keep product pages consistent across collections. Please could you consider adding this as a future feature?
