Preview (how it works + coverage)
Preview is your safety check before running a job. It loads a sample of matching products/variants and shows the before → after values for the fields your action will change.
What Preview does (and does not) do
- Preview focuses on the fields that will actually change, so you can validate patterns, text operations, and price math before running a job.
- Preview is a sample view for speed (it does not attempt to load every matching row for very large scopes).
Preview coverage by field
This table mirrors the in-app Preview coverage table.
| Field / action | Underlying field(s) | How it appears in Preview |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Product title | Text operations (replace, prepend, append) and patterns. Shows a single before/after row per product. |
| Description | Product description | Text operations and patterns on the product description. Preview shows the resolved description text. |
| SEO Title | Product SEO title | Text operations and patterns on SEO title. |
| SEO Description | Product SEO description | Text operations and patterns on SEO description. |
| Handle | Product handle | Text operations and patterns on the product handle. |
| Vendor | Product vendor | Text operations and patterns. Can combine vendor with product/variant variables (for example, vendor plus SKU). |
| Product type | Product product type | Text operations and patterns on product type. |
| Tags | Product tags | Add or remove tags. Preview shows the full tag list before and after (for example, “Summer” → “Summer, New”). |
| Variant price | Variant price | Per-variant rows. Supports set, percent/absolute increase or decrease, rounding, and helpers that set compare-at prices. |
| Variant compare-at price | Variant compare-at price | Per-variant rows. Shows compare-at price before and after when compare-at is changed. |
| Variant SKU | Variant SKU | Per-variant rows. Supports text operations and patterns (for example, [PRODUCT_PREFIX]-[SEQUENTIAL]). |
| Variant barcode | Variant barcode | Per-variant rows. Supports text operations and patterns on barcode. |
Tips
- Start with a small filter scope and use Preview to confirm the right products/variants are targeted.
- For patterns, always check a few sample rows to confirm variables resolve the way you expect.
