To update a product's name, brand, and category:

   • On this sheet, you can add or edit the data in the following columns:
     • product_id - This is the external ID that can be located on your product UI
     • name
     • brand
     • category
     • vendor
4. Once you have made changes to the product's name, brand, and/or category, download the sheets as a CSV file
5. On the Inventory page, click Import
6. On the Import Inventory page, read the instructions and then click "Upload File Here"
7. Select the CSV file from the file manager and then click the Import button
8. You will then be directed to the Ingest Data Processed batch page, with the file located at the top
9. Refresh the page until it is completed. When completed, the file will be assigned an end time and the status will be changed to Finished
