As a Community Owner, you can edit the custom attributes and product type of a product that a supplier has shared. Editing may be useful if the supplier has chosen an incorrect type or if you’ve created a new type that will better fit this product. You can update a product’s custom attributes as long as the product is in an unlocked status, including after changing a product’s type when there may be additional custom attributes. This enables reviewers at your business to be self-sufficient in addressing misclassifications in product type and ensure that all data is accurate.

Steps to Edit Custom Attributes and Product Type for Products Shared with Me
1. Click on Products in the left navigation and select a product under "Shared with Me".
2. Click Edit Product Information to pull up the editable form view.
3. If you've placed the product in a locked status, you will need to Create a Draft to edit the product type or custom attributes. Clicking Edit Product Information will allow you to edit the private attributes of the product, but the product type and custom attributes will remain locked.
Note: If your supplier has edited the product, you will see a gold banner at the top of the page notifying you that the changes are highlighted below. You can still edit the custom attributes or change the product type by clicking Edit Product Information.
3. After clicking Edit Product Information, you can change the Product Type at the top of the page or edit any of the custom attributes.
4. Click Save & Share once finished editing.
