Resources Refresher
You can find Resources under each product. These editable resource sections can contain content, such as support contacts, user tutorials, links to resource databases, video tutorials, and more.
Duplicate Resource vs. Multi-Product Assignment
When editing a Resource, you will see both the Duplicate Resource and Multi-Product Assignment buttons. While they both allow you to copy the Resource from one product to another, it's important to know how these work differently.
- Duplicate Resource creates an independent, unlinked copy. You can create a copy, update information on the copy, and the original will remain unchanged. You can learn more about Duplicate Resource here.
- Multi-Product Assignment creates a linked "copy." If you edit the copied Resource, it will also update the original Resource. This is a two-way link, so whether the original or the copied Resource is updated, it will update in both places.
How to Multi-Assign a Resource to a Product
While adding or editing a Resource under a product,
- Click the Multi-Product Assignment button at the top right of the Resource editing page.
- Locate the products to which you'd like to assign this same Resource. You can use the filters, search bar, or "Unassigned" radio button to help you locate a product.
- Click the + Assign button at the right of the desired product.
Assigning a Resource to All Products
If you want to assign a single Resource to all products in your Catalog, you can click the + Assign to All Products button instead of choosing individual products.
Removing Resources from Products
If you have assigned a Resource to a product and would like to remove it,
- Click the Multi-Product Assignment button at the top right of the Resource editing page.
- Locate the product(s) from which you'd like to remove the Resource. You can use the filters, search bar, or "Assigned" radio button to help you locate a product.
- Click the - Remove button at the right of the desired product.
