When enabled, it displays fields such as Image, Description, Term, Quantity, and Optional (if applicable) in the bundle header. When disabled, it only shows the bundle name.
For more information, see Config Settings.
Enhancement in Hide Asset Actions in Override Settings

api/cart/v1/carts/{{cartId/rule-actions}}
to enable retrieval of all Config rules with pagination. - Enhanced existing API
api/cart/v1/carts/{{cartId/triggered-rule-actions}}
to include pagination functionality and added filtering capability by primary line number.
Viewing Cart Approvals
The quote details page now includes cart approval details in the related list to the previously displayed quote-related details.
Tier Definition Without Rate Table via API
Administrator can now define tier rates via API without creating a rate table using the new "Tier Rate" type. This simplifies rate configuration for "Buy X Get X" and "Buy X Get Y" programs.
POST api/rebates-admin/rebates/{ParentId}/rules
POST api/rebates-admin/rebate-rules/{ParentId}/entries

Controlling CoPilot within CPQ React Web UI
EnableAIAgent

Key | EnableAIAgent |
Type | Boolean |
Values | True: Hides CoPilot.False (Default): Shows CoPilot. |
Currency Field as a Picklist
The data type of the currency field is now changed to picklist from the string on the create quote form. This enables you to select the required currency field from the currency picklist.
Displaying Accurate Line Item Waterfall
When you click "Analyze Price Waterfall" on any line item, the waterfall chart for that specific line item will now be in focus, rather than the parent line's chart.
Dynamic Adjustment Amount in Price Waterfall Ruleset
Administrators can set a formula or field as the "Adjustment Amount Source" in Price and Waterfall Rulesets. This enables flexible adjustments and triggers automatic repricing when values change.
Support for Email Notifications During Asset Renewal from API
Flags on Assets Renewal Setting are created to control email notifications.
If an error occurs during the asset renewal process, then an email notification is sent to the relevant users. This is controlled using the flag, "sendRenewalProcessingErrorNotification". By default, the notifications are turned ON, and administrators can turn them OFF based on business requirements.
A similar flag, 'sendTouchlessRenewalQuoteAcceptanceNotification', generates an email when touch-less Renewal quote is accepted.
Support for Lookup Attributes in Adjustment Amount Source
You can now use Lookup type fields and attributes in the Adjustment Amount Source. This enhancement ensures compatibility with Price rules, Waterfall rules, Matrices, and related pricing functionalities.
Disassociating Rebate Program from Quotes
You can now remove a rebate program from a quote using the new "Disassociate" option available on the Associated Rebates list page. This ensures that the disassociated rebate program will no longer be considered while applying rebates on the cart.
Defining Criteria for Rebate Programs
You can now define criteria for rebate programs using line item fields, providing more flexibility in program application. You can add multiple criteria, sequence and modify them, with validation to ensure accuracy.
Cart Collaboration: Email Notifications
When you initiate the cart collaboration, CPQ sends an email notification to all collaborators mentioned in the assignee field.

Cart Collaboration: Peer Review Merging
You can collaborate while working on a single quote by assigning configuration tasks to different people and orchestrating that process. When you create a collaboration request, CPQ creates a child cart for the collaborators. After finishing the cart, collaborators must invoke the following API by passing the child cart ID
