What this page is for
This page is one import's own record: its state, when it was uploaded and imported, and how many rows it read, added and updated. It is where you land after importing a workbook on Import items, and it updates itself while the import is still running.
Everyone who can view the catalogue sees this page. Revert import shows only to people whose role can manage the catalogue, and only while the import's state is Imported.
The state is one of:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Checking | The workbook is still being read. This page keeps updating by itself. |
| Imported | Every row was written. |
| Not imported | The workbook had problems, so nothing was written. |
| Reverted | The changes this import made were undone. What it added was archived, not deleted. |
How to…
How to find photos for what was imported
Where product photo search is switched on for your business, a banner offers to search for photos for the items this import added that have none. Press All to search for every one, or the smaller number offered when you hold fewer image tokens than that, or Not now to skip it. See Items for photos added one at a time.
How to revert an import
- Press Revert import.
- Type the workbook's file name to confirm, because this cannot be undone.
Every value the import changed goes back to what it was before, and every item, variant and barcode it added is archived rather than deleted. Edits made by hand since then to other fields stay as they are, and sales and stock are not touched.
If the message A later import changed some of the same rows, so this one cannot be reverted yet appears, open the later import named in the link and revert that one first.
Worked examples
Supermarket
Tumaini Supermarket's head office realises the workbook it imported priced a column wrongly read as a barcode. The branch manager opens the import, presses Revert import, types the file name to confirm, and the 3,000 added products are archived. Head office fixes the workbook and imports again.
