Upload entire product catalog

As a Marketplace Manager after downloading and updating an entire catalog, you can now upload the entire production catalog to a new marketplace as a consolidated zip file. The zip file contains the following files in CSV format:

• master.csv - This file contains data related to Product basics, Editions, Edition pricing, and pricing plans.
• medias.csv - This file contains data related to Product Media like links for documents or video links.
• features.csv - This file contains the data related to product features.
• featureCharacteristics.csv - This file contains data related to product feature characteristics.
• benefits.csv - This file contains the data related to product benefits.
• The rest of the files are individual image files related to the various products
