Create a product profiles

Marketplace Managers can customize the content of each network product’s profile. This enables you to target your customers using the specialized language and marketing collateral that might be unique to your industry and matches other profiles on your marketplace.

To implement profile customization, you can copy any network product into the Staging Catalog where you can edit and preview the profile before publishing the customized version to your production environment.

The elements in the profile that you can customize are a subset of the configuration options located in the Product Dashboard. You can add or edit the following elements in the profile:

• Marketplace listing details
• Features including descriptions, reviews, questions, and so on.
• Customers and Media
• Support Information
• Resources

For information about editing pricing, see Edit editions and pricing.

You cannot edit Integration settings.
