Navigating between Product Levels (parents, variants and sub-variants)

If you are in the detail page of a parent (a product with linked variants), a variant (a product that is linked to a parent), or a sub-variant (a product that is linked to a variant) you have the option to navigate between products using the levels of the top bar.

• Level 1: This is always your parent product.
• Level 2: This is where you can find all the variants linked to your parent.

Select a variant in “Level 2” to navigate to that variant’s detail page.

Once you click on a variant, you can always navigate back to the parent's detail page by clicking on "Level 1" or select another variant from the dropdown, by clicking on "Level 2."

• Level 3: This is where you can find all the sub-variants linked to your variant. 

To access a sub-variant from Level 2, select a product from the Level 3 dropdown.

This will redirect you to access that sub-variant's detail page

Once you click on a sub-variant, you can always navigate back to the parent's or the variant's detail page by clicking on "Level 1", "Level 2" or select another sub-variant from the dropdown, by clicking on "Level 3."

Attributes Tab

In the attributes tab you can:

• Use filters to find the right attributes to edit

Attribute Viewing Options

To view your attribute filter options, click on the filters icon.

You can filter by:

Attribute content

• Attributes with filled values
• Attributes with empty values

Attribute status (only displayed for products that belong to a family)

For parent products that belong to a family you can filter by:

• Inheriting attributes
• Non-inheriting attributes
• Attributes that don't belong to the product family
  
  

For variant products that belong to a family you can filter by:

• Attributes inherited from the parent
• Attributes overwritten with individual product values
• Non-inherited attributes
• Attributes that don't belong to the product family
  
  

For single products that belong to a family you can filter by:

• Attributes within the family

Attribute tags

In a parent's detail page, attributes that have the inheritance status ON will have an "Inheriting" tag

For variants, attributes with inheritance ON will have an "Inherited" tag. If an inherited attribute has been manually edited for a variant, it will show as "Overwritten."

You can restore the parent value for an overwritten attribute in a variant's detail page by hovering over it and clicking "Resync."
