Attribute Bulk Customization and Mapping

When performing attribute bulk customizations, it's important to ensure that the file is correctly mapped to the appropriate columns. In the customization file, you should include a column for the attribute value and hardcode the attribute name with what you want directly within the UI.

Example: If you're customizing the color attribute, your file should have a "Color" column where you specify the value (e.g., "Red," "Blue") for each SKU.

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Products or Listings page, depending on where the attributes apply.
2. Follow the steps to import customizations, ensuring that each attribute is mapped correctly in the file.
3. Verify that the appropriate fields are checked off before importing the customizations.

This update will provide clarity to users who need to understand how to properly map and customize attributes in bulk.
