# Edit a product

Change a product's text, status, organization, attributes, sales channels, delivery group and custom data, or delete it.

- Where: Products → a product

The product page collects everything about one product. The main column holds **Details**, **Media**, **Options**, **Personalization** and **Versions**. The side column holds **Online store**, **Delivery group**, **Product organization** and **Attributes**, followed by panels such as **Readiness**, **Warranty policy** and **Customer Reviews**. Each section is edited in its own way, described below.

## Change the status

The status sits in the header, next to the title.

1. Open the product.
2. Choose **Draft**, **Proposed**, **Published** or **Rejected** in the status list.
3. Select **Update**. The badge beside the title shows the new status.

Only **Published** products appear in your store.

## Edit title, description and other details

1. Open the product. In the **Details** card on the product page, change **Title**, **Subtitle** or **Description** right where they are.

   ![The Details card on the product page with the Title, Subtitle, Description, URL handle and Material fields and the Discounts apply switch](https://docs.poltura.com/screenshots/en/products/edit-a-product-details.webp)

2. If needed, change the **URL handle**. The field shows the product's whole address in your store: your store's address, the path of its deepest category, then the handle you edit.

3. Fill in **Material** if it applies, and use **Discounts apply** to decide whether discounts may apply to this product.

4. Select **Save** in the bar that appears once you change something. The product page shows the new text.

> **Warning**
>
> Changing the handle changes the product's address in your store. Check the links you have shared elsewhere after you change it.

## Organize the product

**Product organization** decides where shoppers find the product and which rules apply to it. You edit it directly on the product page.

1. Open the product and find **Product organization** in the side column.
2. Under **Type**, choose one type, for example Book.
3. Under **Collections**, **Categories** and **Tags**, choose as many as you need.
4. To create a new type, collection, category or tag, type its name into **Search or create…** and choose the create option.
5. Select **Save** under the fields.

The same section shows a preview of how the product can look in search results, built from the title, handle and description. There are no separate SEO title and description fields.

## Set attributes

**Attributes** are the structured facts of a product, such as brand, material or screen size. They also include the built-in measurements **Height**, **Width**, **Length**, **Weight**, **MID code**, **HS code** and **Country of origin**.

1. Open the product and find **Attributes** in the side column.
2. Change a value in its row. For an attribute that is not listed yet, select its **Add** chip under **Add an attribute**.
3. The change is saved on its own: the row shows **Saving…** and then **Saved**. There is no save button.

**Manage attributes** opens the list where you create attributes and their values. See [Attributes](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/attributes/).

## Choose where the product is sold

1. Open the product and find **Online store** in the side column.

2. Open the section menu and select **Edit**.

3. In **Edit sales channels**, tick the channels under **Sales channels**.

   ![The Edit sales channels panel with Online store ticked](https://docs.poltura.com/screenshots/en/products/edit-a-product-sales-channels.webp)

4. Select **Save**. The section lists the channels under **Available in**.

Most stores have one sales channel, the online store. A product in no sales channel cannot be bought. Managing the channels themselves needs developer mode, see [Sales channels](https://docs.poltura.com/en/developer/sales-channels/).

## Change the delivery group

The delivery group decides which delivery options apply to the product at checkout.

1. Open the product and find **Delivery group** in the side column.

2. Open the section menu and select **Edit**.

3. In **Edit shipping profile**, choose a group under **Shipping profile**.

   ![The Edit shipping profile panel with Default shipping profile chosen](https://docs.poltura.com/screenshots/en/products/edit-a-product-shipping.webp)

4. Select **Save**. The section shows the group's name.

Delivery options and rates are set under [Delivery](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/delivery/).

## Edit custom data

**Custom data** is a list of key and value pairs for integrations. The section appears only when [developer mode](https://docs.poltura.com/en/developer/) is switched on.

1. Open the product and find **Custom data**.
2. Open the section menu and select **Edit**.
3. In **Edit custom data**, add, change or remove rows. A row with no key is ignored.
4. Select **Save**.

## Add personalization fields

Personalization fields let a shopper type something before adding the product to the cart, such as an engraving.

1. Open the product, find **Personalization**, open the section menu and select **Edit**.
2. Select **Add field** and enter a **Label**.
3. Choose the **Type**: **Text** or **Multiline text**.
4. Optionally set a **Maximum length** and tick **Required**.
5. Select **Save**.

A product can have up to 10 fields. A label can be up to 120 characters and the maximum length can be between 1 and 500 characters. The text the shopper enters appears in the cart and on the order.

## Delete a product

> **Warning**
>
> Deleting a product removes it with all its versions. This cannot be undone.

1. Open the product and select **Delete** in the header.
2. In **Delete product**, type the product's title to confirm.
3. Select **Delete**. You return to the product list and the product is gone.

## Good to know

- **Customize layout** in the header lets you reorder and hide the sections of the product page. **Save for everyone** makes your arrangement the default for the whole team.
- When your store has more than one language, a language switcher appears in the header. Title, subtitle, description, version titles and option values can be translated. Everything else is marked **Same in every language.** See [Translations](https://docs.poltura.com/en/online-store/translations/).
- The side column also carries panels that depend on what your store uses: **Highlighted features**, **Storefront visibility**, **Identifiers**, **Selling details**, **Product safety** and **Digital delivery**.
- **Related products** lets you pick the products shown under "You may also like" and the add-on rows with a one-click add to cart. See [Related and add-on products](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/related-products/).
- **Storefront visibility** is in Beta. A product set to **Direct-link only** is left out of theme product grids, but can still appear in the main product listing and in search.
- A product that is locked because the store is over its plan limit shows a restricted badge and cannot be edited until there is room. See [Plan and billing](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/plan/).
