Composite assets are used to set up layered rendering to dramatically reduce the number of renders for complex products and to improve the performance for end users. Now, Composite assets have been decoupled from Catalog Items so that they can be reused with multiple Catalog Items.

Composite assets can be associated to Items using the the new Composite reference field on Catalog Items:

Composite assets can be created from the Assets sections of the platform:

Composite assets can be previewed with Catalog Items using the preview dropdown:

Attributes can be associated with Composite assets by going to the Logic tab and adding Global Attributes that are also associated with the Item(s). Then, the attributes can be associated with layers:

Composite assets can use Logic for granular and dynamic control. For example, a Composite asset can behave differently depending on the Item that's referencing it:

Existing Composite assets will continue to work and can be migrated to the decoupled Composite assets
