What’s New at Shopify?

The Flow editor now arranges workflows top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right with the configuration panel on the left and Sidekick on the right, so more of the workflow fits on the screen and it's easier to scroll. Visual improvements include cleaner styling and more compact steps with clearly visible selection states.

When steps become scattered across the canvas, click "Arrange workflow" in the lower-left corner to auto-organize them into an organized vertical flow. New workflows will use vertical layout by default. Existing workflows can switch anytime using the "Arrange workflow" button. Your workflows keep working exactly as they do today—only the visual arrangement changes.

In early 2026, all workflows will automatically update to vertical layout. If you've organized steps in a specific way, switching now gives you time to adjust their placement manually.
