Import Product Attributes

Import File option helps import a large bulk of product attributes information into the product attributes list using the .csv file.

Interactive status messages inform about the import progress, and once the import is complete, the changes are reflected in the list upon refresh. Additionally, an email message with the import status is delivered to your mailbox.
