Can anyone tell me what the 'Published' column is for in the exported csv file?

I used to believe that marking this as TRUE simply published the product to our Online Store.

Since Shopify added the 'Google & YouTube' sales channel I'm at a loss as to what this actually does. 

I cannot find any way to publish products on both our 'Online Store' and 'Google & YouTube'

I understand about draft and active items, however, I need to go in and manually publish these whereas I used to be able to do so on import.

 

Thanks

hi. To publish products to your other channels such as 'Online Store' or 'Google & Youtube', you need to use the 'Sales Channel' column (link to documentation I've created, since Shopify's official column name documentation doesn't talk about the channel 'Sales Channel'!

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

I am now even more confused 😄

your documentation states the following.

"It is worth nothing that it IS a bit redundant with the “Sales Channel” column."

I do not have a “Sales Channel” column in my exported csv files.

Am I missing a step somewhere?
