Edit product details

If you only wish to edit the most basic product info, you can click in any cell in the product list to edit its contents.

If you wish to edit more detailed product info, click the Edit (pencil) button to the right of a product to go to its product detail page. If you make any changes in the product detail page, make sure you click Save.

If you wish to edit multiple products at once, select the products to be edited (by clicking the checkboxes to the left of the products) and then click Settings

Please note that you can only apply changes to one page of products at a time.

This will bring up a popup window where you can manage multiple configurations, options and multi pricing for all the ticked products.

A product is not fully wiped from your Products database because it needs to be linked to its past sales reports.

The button will then turn into a Publish button.
