Versioning parameter support added for image delivery

Versioning parameter support added for image delivery

AI Commerce Cloud’s image delivery automation now supports versioning via the v parameter. This allows you to retrieve a specific version of an image without caching or automatic scaling.

How does it work?

Add a parameter to the image URL, such as ?v=7208527732, and:

  • The CDN bypasses any existing cache.

  • You see the original, updated image directly from the S3 bucket.

  • Automatic scaling is not triggered — the image is delivered in full resolution.

Benefits:

  • Quickly verify whether a new image has actually been uploaded to the server.

  • Developers and content managers can test and confirm image updates instantly, without delays.

  • Simplifies image update management, especially when replacing files with the same name.

This is especially useful during launches and in scenarios where image freshness is business-critical (for example, campaign pages or homepage banners).

You can freely generate the version key, as long as it is unique.
