Basics of the Product Editor

/ Product Management

Introduction to the In-Line Product Editor

From the Control Panel, select Shopping Cart, then select the Product Editor

   

Note: You can have multiple product editors pages open, but data between them may not be updated until you refresh the list.

The In-Line Product Editor has Rows of products, Columns of attributes, and a Configuration menu.

  1. Rows: Products are listed with checkboxes next to them. You can select more than one product, and many editing operations work with multiple products.
  2. Filters: You can quickly find products by typing into the boxes near the top of the table.
  3. Configuration: Clicking the “gear icon” near the top-left of the table allows you to customize the layout of the table. There is also a menu for managing previously saved layouts. The lower “Actions” dropdown allows you to perform operations on products such as “Delete,” “Edit,” or “Unpublish.” This is helpful if you can’t right-click on products in the list.
