Product Manager Grid
Overview
The Product Editor is the plugin's main screen: a spreadsheet-style grid for viewing and editing many products at once, inline. It reads and writes your real WooCommerce products — there is no separate copy or sync — so every saved edit is the genuine product data. It is the first item in the plugin's navigation rail and the screen the plugin opens on.

Finding your way around

Everything in the plugin lives on one admin page. A navigation rail down the left switches between screens: Product Editor, Sale Manager, Categories, Brands, Tags and Coupons, then an Attributes group and a Filters group, with Export, Import and Settings at the foot. Collapse at the top of the rail shrinks it to icons, and the plugin remembers which way you left it in this browser.

The layout

The Product Editor has four parts, top to bottom:

PartPurpose
Filter barNarrows the grid — categories, a search by name, SKU or ID, the S / P / B / T filters for stock status, product type, brand and tag, and saved filter presets — and holds Filter Sets, Rows, Columns, Batch Utilities and + Add New Product. Covered in Filters & Search.
Status linksAll / Published / Draft / Bin, each with its count in brackets, to switch which products the grid shows.
The gridOne row per product, with the columns you choose, edited in place. Covered in Editing Products, Variable Products, Column Visibility and Gallery Manager.
Bottom barAlways in view: Save Changes, the page controls with a "Showing 1 to 50 of … products" line, and the actions for ticked products. Covered in Editing Products and Bulk Actions.

What the grid is for

The grid at a glance

The select checkbox, SKU and Product Name columns are pinned to the left and stay in place as you scroll sideways; every other column is optional. The product's ID has its own Product ID column, with a button that copies the ID.

The name cell holds the product link (with -Draft or -Private after the name when that applies) and a line of quick actions: Edit (opens the WooCommerce product screen in a new tab), Duplicate, Draft on a published product or Publish on a draft, and Delete. In the Bin, the actions are Restore and Delete. Beside them sit small round buttons:

ButtonShown onOpens
AEvery productThe product's global attributes and their values.
VVariable productsThe product's variations, in a slide-out panel or under the row (see Variable Products & Variations).
LGrouped productsThe products in the group.

How a page of products is built

When the grid loads a page, the server runs the product query for that page and then fetches everything the rows need in a few bulk steps: every category, brand and tag assignment in three queries, every variation of every variable product on the page at once, and all image addresses in one pass. Each row is then built from memory.

⚙
Built to stay fast on large cataloguesBecause related data is loaded in bulk, the number of database queries per page stays roughly the same however many products or variations are on it.

What each row knows

Every row carries the full set of fields the columns can show or edit: product ID, type, name and slug, SKU, image and gallery, categories, brands and tags, regular and sale price (a price range for variable products), discount percent and amount, sale start and end dates, stock status, stock management, stock quantity and low-stock threshold (a stock summary for variable and grouped products), backorders, sold individually, weight and dimensions, shipping class, catalogue visibility, featured, status, tax status and class, downloadable and virtual flags with download limit, expiry and files, GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN, description and short description, custom fields, upsells and cross-sells, date published, product URL and button text for external products, purchase note and menu order. Which of these you see is up to your column choices.

Paging and saving

Rows in the filter bar sets how many products load per page; its default is Default items per page under Settings → General. The page controls in the bottom bar move between pages, or you can type a page number. Edits you make are kept in the browser as you move between pages, and one Save Changes writes them all. See Editing Products.

ℹ
Connected to the rest of the pluginBatch Utilities in the filter bar opens the batch tools for your selection; Quick Find (Plugin Settings) gives you a radial menu of shortcuts over the grid; and the View Products buttons on category, brand, tag and attribute cards open this grid already filtered to that item.
