How to export an overview of the product attributes, relationships, and asset and product categories of an account.
Admins of an account can now export a CSV export that gives them an overview of their data currently living in the account by using a URL. This can be very useful for setting up and also cleaning up data in the PIM, or for sharing certain information externally without needing to set up a dummy product to do so.
