Can I see a product’s change history and attach documents to it?

Yes. Each product has an Activity tab that shows its history, and a Documents card on its Media tab for files.

The Activity tab shows who created the product and when, under Created by and Created on, and who last updated it. Below that is the activity log. It records when the product was created and each later change with the person who made it. For most fields, an entry shows the previous and new values. Other changes are also logged, including:

  • components added, removed, or changed, with the old and new quantity of each component
  • bill of materials revisions released
  • costs added, changed, or removed
  • attributes, tags, and images updated
  • the product archived or unarchived

Changes made by imports, integrations, and automations appear in the same log.

To attach a file, open the product’s Media tab and select “Add document” on the Documents card. Use it for spec sheets, certifications, manuals, or other reference files. Anyone who can view the product can open and download the files, and people who can edit the product can add or delete them. Open an image or PDF card to preview it. Uploads keep their filenames, and two uploads with the same name remain separate documents.

A supplier’s Documents tab also lets you copy a document onto its linked products. This creates product attachments, so the document can be found from those products too.

For links to files kept elsewhere, the product also has Specs URL and Packaging URL fields.
