So, let us check out its updates one by one-
Revamped Orders screen
The design of the Orders screen has been overhauled to make it easier to view and manage orders. Small, confusing icons are replaced with large, clear buttons, and we’ve added the ability to view order items and details right from the Orders screen. You can get all the at-a-glance information needed to deal with new orders without needing to edit the order!
Improved and automated backorder handling for products with managed stock
When a product has stock management enabled, it will gracefully transition from “In stock” to “On backorder” or “Out of stock” as the inventory decreases. When more inventory is added, the product will automatically go back to “In stock”. There are also improvements on the Products screen aimed at making it quick and easy for store owners to find and identify out-of-stock or back-ordered inventory.

Ability to set the number of rows and columns for your shop
WooCommerce support comes with an improved and great way in the 3.3 version. They have improved the way WooCommerce renders on themes that don’t formally declare WooCommerce support, so now you should be able to use WooCommerce with almost any theme from WordPress.org.
Not only this, you can also set the number of shop columns and rows with a live preview in the Customizer. The columns will gracefully resize to fill the whole width of the area, and this feature is available on all themes.
Choose the aspect ratio of store images and automatic thumbnail regeneration
In this feature, they have customized the aspect ratio of product images in your shop. So, you can have classic square images, custom-cropped images, or even uncropped images.
Even you will get automated thumbnail regeneration. In the past, when you changed a product image, WordPress would not resize the image, and you had to install a plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails to have WordPress resize the images for you. In WooCommerce 3.3, they have now added on-the-fly thumbnail resizing as well as background thumbnail resizing. This is a super useful one.

Product downloads are logged and can be viewed and analyzed
They have also added logging features for product downloads. When customers download products from your store, you can view and analyze the download logs with a variety of built-in filters, including by order, by the customer, by product, and by file.
Some other useful improvements in features
- Live preview of site display settings in the Customizer.
- Search for extensions right on the admin Extensions screen.
- Improved setup wizard featuring new gateways to get new stores started quickly and professionally.
- If you’re using the database logger, we’ve added the ability to search the logs.
- We’ve added the ability to add pagination for the product’s shortcode and also added support for product tags.
