Shopify just dropped their March 2026 Dev Platform update, and there’s a lot to like. A few highlights:

  • Role-based access control in the Dev Dashboard - finally, proper team permissions for partner orgs.
  • Faster Admin API - they’ve moved to breadth-first GraphQL execution, which means noticeably quicker responses on large list queries.
  • Safer CLI deploys - the old --force flag is being replaced with --allow-updates and --allow-deletes, so no more accidental extension deletions.
  • Bundle size analysis for UI extensions - you can now see exactly what’s eating into that 64 KB limit.
  • 387 refreshed reference docs for Admin UI extensions and App Home.
