Linked to My library or a separate copy?

A linked option follows a set in My library. A copy belongs to its own product only.

What it looks likeโ€‹

Above a linked option is a Linked to library bar with the set name and three buttons.

Use it whenโ€‹

  • You sell the same choices in many products, such as sizes. Click Link to a saved set.
  • You want a starting point that you change for this product only. Click Copy a setโ€™s choices.
  • You edited the set. Drafts update automatically, and published products change when you choose to update them. Save & update and Update & publish publish the edit to those products right away. A product that has other unpublished edits is not published, so publish it yourself.
  • You want the option to stay as it is. Click Detach for this product.

Linked and copyโ€‹

Both put the set's choices in place of the option's current choices. Detach for this product turns the option into a copy right away, with no confirmation message. Deleting the set never touches your store: each product keeps its copy.
