The template is available to be downloaded when clicking to the DOWNLOAD IMPORT TEMPLATE and then check the product:

Then click on DOWNLOAD

Once you have filled your excel with the data you want to import, you can now drop it into the drag and drop location ( you can also click and search your file through the explorer)

A preview of what will be imported is shown :

In this table, you are able to have a last look at your data before uploading them for real. A validation is done in order to minimize the possible webservice error after launching the import. If an issue is found on a line, an error icon appears at the beginning of the line. More information is shown when hovering the error icon.

in this example, we can see that the first id does not follow an url valid pattern. The error icon is therefore present, and the user is warn of what error is present.

When launching the import, all the line on errors will be ignored at import as an error on the line means that the product will have an error in the webservices

When launching the import, a success icon appears on the lines that are really imported. Also, if an issue happened when calling the webservice, the error icon will appear. Hovering it will show you the webservice error. If an error icon appears after launching the import, it means that the line was not imported.
