Which columns can I use for product details, prices, and default costs?

Use Name and SKU on every product row, then add the columns for the details you want to change. Map the headings in the importer before starting.

For a minimal file, keep just Name and SKU. Most blank cells keep existing values. A blank default-cost cell clears that cost when its column is included. Omit the cost column to keep it unchanged.

A filled Image cell replaces images; Tags adds tags. Remove Image before reimporting an export if you want to keep every image.
