You can export information about catalogs so you can work with them outside of Commerce Cloud and easily import changes back into your environment. For example, you can use the import feature to create new catalogs or to change the collections assigned to a catalog. See Import and Export Catalog Items and Inventory for details about how to import and export data in Commerce Cloud.

The easiest way to format a file for importing catalogs is to start by exporting a file that you can use as a template for items you want to add or modify. See Export catalog items for more information about how to export data.

When you look at the exported spreadsheet, you can see that the second row displays column headings that contain the following internal names of the exported properties.

Catalog data begins in the third row and continues for the remainder of the spreadsheet. If an item does not have a value for a property, the corresponding cell is blank. See Import catalog items and inventory for more information about how to import your changes back into the catalog.
