Meanwhile...at Manage Comics

The Manage Comics REBOOT has started. This epiosde we talk all about the amazing things we have planned for the rest of 2023, and into 2024.

We have big, big plans, and they involve taking advantage of recent Shopify changes, updates to our processes, massive data improvements and so much more.

We share special news, updates, and talk with Craig from Marketing and maybe even launch a new feature during this episode?

It's the Manage Comics Reboot, and nothing will ever be the same again!

Meanwhile...at Manage Comics returns and this week we're talking all about Shopify Editions Summer '23. Twice a year Shopify releases a roll-up of everything they've released, and the projects they're in the process of releasing over the next few weeks. We've spent the last several weeks reviewing these changes, playing with the new features, and getting to understand how these features impact Manage Comics and your store. All this and a preview of some upcoming Meanwhile...episodes this week on Episode 23 of Meanwhile...at Manage Comics.---About Manage Comics - https://info.managecomics.com/ Get Started with Manage Comics 2.0 - https://pages.managecomics.com/manage-comics-2-get-started/The Manage Comics Roadmap - https://roadmap.managecomics.com Get help with Manage Comics - https://help.managecomics.com

We've been working on some fairly major updates for our international customers for quite some time, it's been deeply regression tested, reviewed, and it's all ready to go, so we're going to show the changes off, and let you see them in action.

We'll also talk about our new series code system, how we're using series codes going forward, and what you can expect to see with series codes in the future.

PLUS we'll talk about what's coming next and why we might be a little bit quiet for the next few weeks (spoiler alert - it's summer time, and our next two projects are huuuuuuuge).
