How do we remove the automatically generated category suggestion when uploading a new product? This seemed to have been an updated installment in the newest update. We manually enter our own categories do to most of our collections being automatic, yet sometimes the bot changes the category we manually pick and then customers can't find items within their proper collection.

I'm sure it can be a great feature, but we've love to disable it for our store.

Hi, @Emilyy!

 

Thanks for your post. Suggestions that are in purple have not been saved. You can edit or remove the predicted pre-defined product category if you wish, by clicking the suggestion.

 

You can't type in a custom product category under the Category field, but you can add it under category type. Check out this help document for more details!

 

If you remove a suggested category but it still appears, I recommend contacting our live support team through the Help Center so we can take a closer look at what might be happening. 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

I have the same problem on my store. Where do I edit or remove the predicted pre-defined product category?

Thanks
