# 2025-05-26: CE - New Cart Flexibility for Managing Line Items

## Overview

Further enhancements have been made to the management of items in the cart, with the aim of providing greater flexibility and control to you. By default, identical products are grouped into a single line item with an updated quantity. However, you now have the option to treat each item addition as a separate line item, enabling more advanced use cases such as promotions, varied delivery methods and custom pricing strategies.
