PERFECT INFORMATION! Exactly what I needed. Amazon should hire you to do turtorials for them!

[abundanceatms]

Best video I’ve seen on this thank you, so concise and easy to follow

[kannusamyjoackin]

Thank you Meghan🥰 your instructions are clear and easy to follow

[eminemirza]

Thnks Meg... Details make all the difference!

[airear]

this is the content i love to follow straight the point

[rohotorki]

Hi Meghan I want to say is useful and I love you💕

[Serj-]

Thanks for the video!

What should I do if I have only 5 "Key Product Features" in this file, while in Seller Central I can add up to 10? How can I get 10 bullet points in this file as well?

[deninenglish]

Hi Meghan! WOW, thank you so much! This made the confusing world of flat files so much easier! Quick question (might be a dumb one...), I have some errors in the flat file I uploaded. I have downloaded the processing report and corrected the errors on my original template. Do you go through the uploading steps again and upload the corrected spreadsheet?

[JenniferHilgendorf]

Great video, easy to follow. My question is how does a category listing report relate to the new template? I downloaded our CLR and it has our current listing information but I need to make several edits, how do I transfer that new information into the new template? or can I just upload the updated CLR I downloaded instead? Do I need to be mindful of anything I missed?

[ericgoodman]

Hi Meghan. If I only went to update one thing in the file do I do partial update and leave all the other fields blank except the one I want to update? I’m worried if I leave blank it’ll delete things.

[stlcconcept]

Hello again. What to do to insert more than one key product features as bullet points? To insert a new column for each bullet point?

[משהכץ-שכ]

Hi Meghan, Thank you for the excellent video, it's very easy to follow your orders, Do you have a solution how to change if it was not changing 24 hours after uploading the file? CatLog team told me to delete it and to relist it after 24 hours, I would prefer not doing it, do you have any other solution?

[leopazamz]

Hi Meghan thanks for sharing. Do you know if there is a way to copy a link image from google drive and pasted it into a flat file?

[SD-rgmj]

hello Do you use GPT creation or automation software?

[agnieszkaguzik]

Hello Meghan, thabk you for your video;)) just one quick question- if I fill only thise fields that need update, the rest of my listing will stay as it is, is that right? There's no chance I'll end up with a listing made only of info from the file? I'm kind of still scared of flat files on Amazon😂😂😂

[cgc]

Hello, I don't have this option, is it only available on pro accounts?

[atcpatrick]

Meghan, I am trying to update the bullet points but my template is not showing the "Product Features" or similar in the template. Any thoughts on this?

[Subbu-by]

Can i change the product category, browse path via flat file

[lispat]

how do i get it to pre populate with the info of my already existing catalogue?

[hemangsharma]

How do you add more than 5 bullet points using the flat file method on Amazon?
