Feature 5: View your Edit History up to 180 Days
Sometimes you may want to know why a product displays a particular value. Ablestar Bulk Product Editor keeps a detailed history of each time your products have been edited through the app editor.
We also built out the option to view historical records of imports, exports and files.
Depending on the plan you choose, we retain 60 to 180 days worth of edit history available for download.
Single Product History
You can access the edit history of any product in two areas:
- Shopify navigtion menu: Click the 'Products' menu and find any product
- Ablestar Bulk Editor app: Click the 'Products' menu and find any product
Once the product detail appears, click the More actions button and select Edit history:
Once the 'Edit history' view appears, you will see the time of each edit. Hovering over that timestamp also displays the exact date of the edit:
To see all products that were related to that edit, click on the row of the Edit name. You also have an option to click the Download log button to download the direct copy.
All History
Our app also allows you to view a history of all bulk edits that were made through the app functionality, as well as a history of imports, exports and files.
From the app navigation menu, click 'History' and all previous bulk edits will appear. You can click through the Exports, Imports and Files tabs to see more information, or search and filter all edits by key terms:
Our edit history only shows the edits that occurred within the functionality of Ablestar Bulk Product Editor. Alternately, the app will store all price changes from the Shopify database (regardless of whether the price was changed from our app or not).
View all Exports
Clicking on the 'Exports' tab will display all previously exported product lists. Clicking on any row will take you to see more detail, or you can click the Download icon to download the direct copy.
View all Imports
Clicking on the 'Imports' tab will display all previously imported product lists. Clicking on any row will take you to see more detail, or you can filter and search by specific key terms.
View all Files
Clicking on the 'Files' tab will display all previously imported files, where you can click the Download icon to download the direct copy.
