Avante 15.0.0

Avante 15.0.0 release notes — introduces the Ariste preset, fullscreen banner with product section, video reels slideshow, and inline image reveal.

Released June, 2026

Added

• Ariste preset — a new built-in theme style optimized as a starting point for accessories stores. Install Ariste fresh from the Shopify Theme Store to get the full demo layout.
• Fullscreen banner with product — a new full-height section featuring a product over an image or video background. Supports four on-scroll behaviors: static, parallax, sticky, and zoom in/out. Includes a sticky-content option for desktop so the product info stays visible while the background scrolls.
• Video reels slideshow block — a new block for the Product overview section. Displays a shoppable vertical-video slider with thumbnails, quick buy, and per-row layout controls.
• Inline image reveal block — a new block for the Banner and Media with text sections. Reveals an image next to selected heading text on hover.
