File picker is now available on the variant detail page in admin.
Shopify has added a unified file picker to select images on the variant detail page in admin, allowing merchants to access all images in their store when managing product variants.

Flow: New actions for working with metaobjects.
Flow has more tools for working with metaobjects in workflows. In addition to the recent Metaobject entry created trigger Flow now offers the Get metaobject entries and “Get metaobject entry” actions. These actions make it easier to store data in metaobjects and retrieve them for use in workflows. For example, a metaobject can be used to manage a fraud denial list, which is then queried from Flow and used for the next steps sending internal email alerts or canceling orders. The Get metaobject entries action retrieves the list of entries for a metaobject from your store. In addition to the usual query fields, such as display name or update date, metaobjects can be queried by value. The Get metaobject entries action retrieves one record per handle.
