    • Leave comments tied to specific assets.

  • Upload Approvals: Where Approval Workflows is enabled for your account, you can choose to send new uploads for approval. Pending uploads stay hidden from the DAM until a reviewer approves them.

Match & Catalog Intelligence

  • Parent ASIN Mismatch Filter: On Amazon, use the new Parent ASIN mismatch filter in Match to find listings whose parent ASIN or parent SKU differs from PXM.

  • Better Walmart Matching: Walmart listings use a scoring model built for Walmart and compare variant groups.

  • Expanded Scoring: Item highlights are now included in match scores for Amazon US listings, and scores are calculated per marketplace.

  • Clearer Score Displays: Score cards and graphs show more meaningful results for listings that don't have page views yet.

Digital Asset Management (DAM) & File Tools

  • Image Usage Governance (available on request): Admins can mark images, folders, or products as usage-governed. Anyone downloading a governed image signs in and accepts your usage terms first, and each acceptance is recorded in a usage history report. This feature is off by default; contact your Pattern team to enable it.
