Updating items already dropped in MO?

[duLuna Bosatsu]

do you know if, after adding your items via merchant outbox, its supposed to show whats been uploaded already? I would like to go back and replace the boxes (inside their auto created folders) with simply folders with the merch and not just the box that needs to be opened. I adjusted everything earlier today, so I had to logout.

I cant tell if its not recognizing my store since Im not getting any errors... the outbox is just empty :<  I tried dragging in one of the folders, in case it would push the old one out, but it hasnt. Box is still there.

 

- also, Im deathly afraid of deleting the items in Manage Listings, I dont want to have to redo every page for my items :<

Once you send up an updated item, you must Edit the Product Listing and then use the "Edit associated object" button to change it from the old folder you uploaded to the new one. Then the old one will show up under the Unassociated Inventory listing at the top of your Manage Listings page; you can delete it from there.

You don't need to keep the same folder name ... most folks don't as they like keeping version numbers on their boxed items (which are analogous to DD Folders now). It will make it easier to see which one is old and which is new as well. However there does not seem to be an issue if you do use the same name as it keeps the two separate.

<3 thank you! I was just going by Torly's video and he didnt cover that part, just thought they would all push the old out for the new ;D suppose its not all automatic. Thanks a ton!

You are most welcome. Just remember, help, like smiles, is one of those things you can give away all day and have more left when you get done.

(And a nod of thanks to Zaphod Kotobide for verifying this process works.)

It would be a lot better if when you upload a folder of exactly the same name as an existing DD folder if it overwrote the old one instead of needing to be manually reassociated.

could be useful during updating to receive a message if the product name is already present and at that point you can choose:

 

1) update

2) add and keep exiting 

3) abort
