To edit a product's attachments:Note: This feature is available only to administrators and to inventory assistants with permission to edit product data.
An attachment is a file added to a product as supplemental data. Edit a product's attachments when you need to add, edit, or remove an attachment for that product.
The following options are available for each attachment:
Make this a common attachment: Select this option to designate the attachment as a common attachment. After its properties are defined for one product, a common attachment is easily added to other products.
Popup automatically on product view: Select this option to have the attachment automatically open in a new window whenever a user views this product.
External File vs. Stored File: Each attachment's file is defined in one of two ways: by entering a path to an external file (such as a website URL) or by uploading the file to be stored on the server.
When a common attachment or a stored attachment file becomes outdated, an administrator can update it for all products to which it is assigned or remove it from the system (and from all products) as appropriate. For details, see Managing Attachments.
