Editing your products in the CSV File

1. Make the required edits and changes to your products directly in the downloaded CSV File.

Please Note:

• When updating products via CSV, the Product ID must be included for all products. Please be sure not to make any changes to the Product ID field, as this will affect our ability to be able to update the products, when the file is uploaded. 
• For variation products, please ensure that the ParentSKU is included on the file, as this will be required to ensure that we can map the changes made to the variation SKUs, back to the correct product

2. Once all changes have been made on the file, save this to your computer
