Bulk Product Edit App: Editing Descriptions with BPE
Welcome to another tutorial on the Bulk Product Edit App (BPE). In this tutorial, we will explore the description function of BPE, specifically focusing on how to edit product descriptions in bulk. We will also cover how to edit HTML tags within the descriptions. So, let's jump right in.
Introduction
When managing an online store, it is often necessary to make edits to multiple product descriptions simultaneously. The Bulk Product Edit (BPE) app provides a convenient solution for this task. With BPE, you can easily modify product descriptions, saving you time and effort.
Overview of Bulk Product Edit App (BPE)
Before we dive into the description function of BPE, let's get a general understanding of the app. BPE is a powerful tool that allows you to make bulk edits to various aspects of your products, such as titles, descriptions, prices, and more. It simplifies the tedious process of individually editing each product by providing efficient mass editing capabilities.
Finding the Description Function
To begin editing product descriptions with BPE, you need to locate the description function within the app. You can find it on the left side navigation bar or directly on the home page. Once you have identified the description function, you can proceed to edit the desired descriptions.
Determining which part of the Description to Edit
Before making any edits, it's crucial to determine which specific part of the product description you want to modify. For example, let's say you have a collection of shirts, and you want to edit the delivery time mentioned in the descriptions. By selecting the appropriate section, you can make changes to all the shirts' delivery time simultaneously.
Accessing the BPE Application
Once you have identified the part of the description you want to edit, it's time to access the BPE application. Navigate to your test store and enter the desired collection containing the products with the descriptions you want to modify. This will allow you to preview and select the products you wish to edit.
Previewing and Selecting Products to Edit
Within the BPE application, you will find a collection selection option. Choose the collection that contains the products you want to edit. By previewing the products, you can ensure you have selected the correct ones for editing.
Choosing a Function to Edit the Description
Next, you need to choose the appropriate function within BPE to edit the description. BPE offers several options, but for our purpose, we will focus on the "find and replace text in description" function. By selecting this function, you can easily replace a specific text within the descriptions of multiple products.
Example: Find and Replace Text in Description
Let's walk through an example to illustrate the process of finding and replacing text in the description. Suppose you want to change the delivery time from "two to four weeks" to "one to two weeks." Simply copy the desired text and paste it in the corresponding field within BPE. Then initiate the edit task to start the replacement process.
Waiting for the Edit Task to Finish
After initiating the edit task, you will be directed to the tasks page, where you need to wait for the queued task to finish. BPE will inform you once the task is completed, and it will provide details about the number of products edited and the specific collection where the changes took place.
Reviewing the Edited Products and Descriptions
Once the task is finished, you can review the edited products and descriptions in the details section. This allows you to compare the old and new descriptions, ensuring the changes were made correctly. By checking your store, you will see that the edited descriptions have been successfully updated.
Editing HTML Tags within the Description
In addition to editing the text itself, BPE also allows you to modify HTML tags within the description. This means you can change not only the content but also the formatting, such as text color, font size, or even add line breaks. Let's explore how to do this in the next section.
Common Mistakes to Avoid when Editing Descriptions
Before we proceed, it's essential to be aware of common mistakes that can occur when editing descriptions. One frequent error is neglecting to include HTML tags when replacing text. Simply copying and pasting the desired text without the corresponding HTML tags will result in incorrect edits.
Including HTML Tags in the Find and Replace Function
To avoid the mistake mentioned earlier, it's crucial to include the necessary HTML tags when utilizing the find and replace function. By copying the entire section of the description, including the HTML tags, and replacing it with the desired text, you ensure that the changes are applied correctly.
Example: Removing a Line and Changing Text Color
Let's explore an example to illustrate how to remove a line and change the text color within a description. Copy the target section, including the HTML tags, and replace it with the desired modification. For instance, you might want to remove the second line and change the text color to blue. Initiate the bulk edit task to apply the changes.
Finalizing the Bulk Edit Task
Once the bulk edit task is completed, review the details to confirm the number of edited products and the changes made. By checking your store, you will see the updated descriptions, reflecting the modifications you made, such as removing a line and changing the text color.
