Adding and duplicating products
Add a new product as a draft, or copy the selected ones, without leaving the Bulk Editor.
Note
This is part of Gridline Pro.
Add a product
- Click Add product next to the Bulk Editor's title.
- Enter the Product name and choose the Product type: simple, variable, grouped or external.
- Click Add product.
The new product is added as a draft at the top of the grid. Fill in its SKU, prices, stock and categories right there, set its Status to Published when it's ready, and save.
Variations are added on the product screen: hover the product's name and click Edit. Once they exist, Show variations brings them into the grid.
Duplicate products
- Tick the products to copy.
- Click Duplicate above the grid.
Each copy is made the way WooCommerce's own Duplicate link does it: a draft named "… (Copy)", with the original's details, categories, images and, for a variable product, its variations. SKUs are changed to stay unique. The copies appear at the top of the grid, ready to change.
Selected variations are skipped: they're copied with their product.
Who can add and duplicate
Adding and duplicating need permission to publish products, which shop managers and administrators have. For people who can only edit products, the buttons don't appear.
Undo
Adding and duplicating aren't in the history, so they can't be undone from there. Move unwanted products to the trash from Products.
