Release Notes - March 2026

March was a month of significant expansion across the platform. We shipped a new server-side deployment method via Cloudflare, introduced conditional logic to the Highlighter for more powerful tagging, and continued building out the Analyzer v2 Coverage screen — giving customers richer, real-time insight into their schema health and coverage trends.

Server-Side Markup Injection via Cloudflare

We've introduced a new deployment method that uses Cloudflare to inject highlighter markup server-side. This provides faster rendering and a simpler setup compared to traditional Tag Manager or server-side plugin deployments, and is designed to expand access for customer use cases where those methods aren't practical. Customers interested in this option should speak with their CSM.

Conditional XPath Tagging in the Highlighter

The Highlighter Extension now supports conditional logic across all tag types — including simple highlights, fixed properties, linked resources, and subtemplates. This allows templates to apply tags only when a specified XPath condition is met on the page, enabling more precise and flexible markup authoring without requiring separate templates for conditional content. Documentation has been updated to reflect this new capability.

Analyzer v2: Coverage & Scoping Screens

The new Analyzer v2 interface continued to take shape this month, with the Coverage and Scoping screens now displaying live data. The Coverage screen shows Health Score and Pages with Schema summary cards, a time-series trend chart for historical coverage and health metrics, and a filterable, paginated details table of schema types by page. The Scoping screen now surfaces a Scoping Scan Results table with sample pages, suggested schema types, rich result eligibility, and markup source — giving customers a much clearer picture of where their markup stands and where opportunities exist.

Other Improvements at Schema App

• Knowledge Assistant (formerly NLWeb): The NLWeb feature has been renamed to "Knowledge Assistant" throughout the application, including navigation, page titles, breadcrumbs, and headers, for improved clarity.
• Shopify: Market-Specific Contextual Pricing: Product schema markup for Shopify now accurately reflects the local currency and price for each market, resolving cases where markup displayed a single price regardless of the customer's market.
• Deployment Monitoring: Template History Modal: The Publishing & Deployment Status widget in Monitoring Results now includes a "Show History" action for template-based sources. Clicking it opens a modal with the full provenance history of template status changes and edits, providing a clear audit trail without leaving the monitoring view.
• IEL Exact Match: Internal Entity Linking now supports an "exact match" configuration option, restricting linking to only precise text matches rather than fuzzy results. This improves precision for HX templates where unwanted partial matches were appearing. Documentation updates are in progress.
• IEL Report Actions — Copy URI and Edit: The Internal Entity Linking report now includes direct "Copy URI" and "Edit" actions on report items, streamlining workflows for CSMs and reducing the need to navigate away from the report to take action.
• HX Login: Active Obligation Enforcement: The Highlighter login process now verifies that a user's organization has an active subscription obligation before granting access. Users with ended obligations are no longer able to log in and view past projects.
• Bug Fix — XPath Deployment Page Counts: Markup deployed using XPath patterns was not being correctly reflected in page counts, which was affecting accuracy during customer onboarding. This has been resolved.

In Brief

March 2026 brought meaningful advances in deployment flexibility, authoring power, and analytics. The new Cloudflare server-side injection method opens up Schema App to customer environments where traditional deployment methods aren't viable. Conditional XPath tagging gives HX authors significantly more control over when and where markup is applied. And the Analyzer v2 Coverage and Scoping screens move Schema App's analytics capabilities forward with live data, trend charts, and detailed reporting — all in a modern, purpose-built interface.

As always, reach out to your CSM if you have questions about any of the updates above or want to explore how new features might apply to your implementation.
