Hmmm... I'm not seeing anything new in the design tool. Are you referring to the "remove white from image - background only" feature, or is there something new that I haven't seen yet?

The new feature is on the right-hand side under “Change Image.”

Thanks! I must not be part of the test group, but at least I know to be on the lookout for it. Can't wait to see it in action!

I wish I was in the Product Replace A/B testing instead….

I thought that was past the A/B testing phase. I think you can apply for it if you don't have it, but I'm not sure how.

I have a feature called "change image" but that is what only seems to allow me to do.  How would it remove the background?

No, it is not change image. I had it yesterday, now it's gone, but it will say "Remove Background New". If it comes back for me, I will screenshot it and post it here. It only let me remove the background, but it would not let me replace that background, with another image. I'm not sure if that's the way it will stay, since they are still testing it.

I have both features today (on my laptop running Windows and MS Edge.

The Change Image feature is the top selection, followed by the Remove Background feature.

sorry -- you mean under "change image", which BTW I never noticed was there . . .

It's mentioned here, https://community.zazzle.com/t5/creator-news/new-publish-success-page/ba-p/201801

"More exciting updates are coming soon.. PSST, We’re currently A/B testing a background remover in the design tool to make designing more easy for Creators and Customers! Be on the lookout to see if you’re part of the test!

Yes this is a very nice addition.  It is actually in the design tool. I tried it out on a product of mine where a customer can upload a photo.  I clicked on my "stand in photo" and it popped up underneath the "Change Image" section on the right hand side of the screen. It removed the background nicely leaving the just the family.  This offers more room for fun product designs! 

Edited to add: Next wish is for a sliding transparency bar for images and text in the design tool.

 Yes, that's a nice new feature!  I noticed this yesterday while in the design tool making new items with images, and after clicking on image layers saw Remove BG New on right-hand side under Change Image.  Can't miss it.  At first I didn't know what it was... but later on after seeing it again, I saw after clicking on some of my floral images the background greenery was removed.  It was cool seeing all the stars wondering what it was doing at first, as I hadn't a clue 🙂

ETA:  When I go into design tool for one of my designed items and I leave my original image as is, and click Change Image the image I select fills the space, and my other image is removed from underneath.  Hadn't seen that before either, but it worked nicely.
