# Version 3.5 – Comparison Tables and Template Variables

After several weeks of developing, we are pleased to announce the release of AAWP v3.5.

With this new version we have introduced our new comparison tables, one of the most wished features. Up to now you had to use the field shortcodes and create such tables on your own.

With our new *table builder* this is no longer necessary and you can build comparison tables right from your admin area. No HTML/CSS skills needed!

### Comparison Tables

[![Comparison Tables Demo](https://getaawp.com/wp-content/uploads/aawp-demo-comparison-tables-837x630.png)](https://getaawp.com/wp-content/uploads/aawp-demo-comparison-tables.png)

With our new comparison tables, you can compare any Amazon products of your choice and demonstrate advantages and disadvantages. This way you assist your site visitors with their purchase decision.

More information about can be found on the [functions page](https://getaawp.com/features/comparison-tables/) we setup, as well as in our [documentation](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/comparison-tables/).

Since this is the first version of the comparison tables, we would be happy, if you [get in touch with us](https://getaawp.com/contact/) in case you have suggestions, feature requests or found some bugs. We already have many more ideas for the comparison tables, but your feedback is always very welcome! :)

### Template Variables

Also new and especially interesting in case you're creating custom templates, is the possibility to pass your own variables via shortcode. Afterwards these variable can be accessed directly inside your templates.

```
[amazon box="ASIN" tpl_var1="test" tpl_var2="text1,text2,text3" /]
```

More information can be found in the corresponding [documentation](https://getaawp.com/docs/article/template-variables/).
