For more detailed instructions, see the Step-by-step guide.

To Update Existing Objects

  1. Export the Objects that you want to update:
    Go to the Object list  > Checkmark the objects > Bulk actions > Export > Purpose Import
  2. Make your changes in the exported file.
  3. Create a new object import and upload the updated file:
    Settings menu > Data > Import > New.

Note: To update existing objects, all fields must be included in the import file, including the Object ID, to avoid creating duplicates. Any orders associated with the objects will not be affected.
