Catalog Manager gives you the following options for editing your products:

• Editing individual products
• Editing selected products using the "Edit Selected" option
• Editing all products displayed onscreen using the "Edit All" option
• Editing products using a spreadsheet upload

Editing individual products

To edit existing products one at a time:

1. In Catalog Manager, click the Products tab, and access the "Manage Products" section.
2. Using the "View table" pull-down menu, select the table that the product you wish to edit has been added to.
3. Locate the product you wish to edit in the product table, and click its linked product ID.
4. Edit the product information.
5. Click the "Save" button to save your changes.

Editing selected products using the "Edit Selected" option

The "Edit Selected" option is a new feature in Catalog Manager designed to save you time, by letting you make the same changes to multiple products at the same time, in just a couple of clicks.

For example, if you'd like to apply a discount to a few of the products in the same table, you may do this by selecting these products using the checkboxes, clicking "Edit Selected," and making edits to the discount attribute using the "Edit Selected Products" screen.

The "Edit Selected" button is disabled until one or more products are selected using the product checkboxes located in the product table column to the left of the ID column. The "Edit Selected" option can only be used for editing products in individual tables, and will be disabled if "all-tables" is selected.

To update multiple products in a table using the "Edit Selected" option:

1. In Catalog Manager, click the Products tab, and access the "Manage Products" section.
2. Using the "View table" pull-down menu, select the table that the products you wish to edit have been added to.
3. Select the products you wish to edit by selecting their product checkboxes. This will enable the "Edit Selected" button.
4. Click the "Edit Selected" button. You will be taken to the "Edit Selected Products" page, which lists available product attributes that may be modified.
5. Select the attributes you wish to modify by selecting the attribute checkboxes.
6. Update the attribute information.
7. Click the "Apply Changes" button to apply these changes to all of the selected products.
8. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to make these changes. Click the "Apply Changes" button in the confirmation pop-up to confirm your changes.

If you wish to make the same changes to all items in a table, you can quickly select all items in a table by doing the following:

1. In Catalog Manager, click the Products tab, and access the "Manage Products" section.
2. Using the "View table" pull-down menu, select the table that the products you wish to edit have been added to.
3. Click the checkbox toggle located in the blue column header row. This toggle is located in the column to the left of the ID column.
4. Once you've selected the checkbox toggle, you will see the following message immediately below the blue column header row: "You have selected ## items. Select all items in this table?" Click the "Select all items in this table?" link to select all items in the table. (Note: If you don't click this link, only the products listed on the current page of the table will be selected, as indicated by the number of products displayed in the "You have selected ## items" message. For example, if your table has 200 products, but only 25 are displayed per page, then only the 25 displayed products would be selected until the "Select all items in this table?" link is clicked.)
5. Click the "Edit Selected" button, and follow steps 6-8 above.
   

Editing all products displayed onscreen, using the "Edit All" option

The "Edit All" option replaces the former "Edit These Items" option, letting you open all products displayed onscreen for editing. For example, if your table is set to display 25 products per page, then clicking the "Edit All" button would open all 25 of these products for editing. Unlike the "Edit Selected" option, the "Edit All" option allows you to make individual attribute changes per product listed. The "Edit All" option may be a more efficient editing option than editing products one at a time in cases where multiple products in a table require different attribute changes.

For example, if ten products in a table need updates to different attributes, you can save time by opening all of these products for editing, making only the changes needed for each product and saving all of the changes at the same time, rather than opening each product for editing one at a time, and making and saving changes to these products one at a time.

Editing products using a spreadsheet upload

Products may also be edited by downloading a table spreadsheet, making your desired changes, and uploading the updated spreadsheet using the Upload/Download tab. To learn how to upload and download spreadsheets, please see our Upload/Download help page.
