Images and Colours

Product images are managed across two tabs in the portal, each serving a specific purpose:

• Images: Use this tab for your hero shots, lifestyle imagery, group photos, and specific product features.

• Colours: This is where you identify the individual product colours and can then link them to their corresponding image. Matching the image to the colour name can really level up the product presentation on distributor websites.
  (Associating the corresponding image to the colour name is optional – but is recommended as best practice)

Regardless of which tab you use, all images will be included in the final product feed. This means you don’t need to double-up by loading colour-specific images into the main Images tab as well.

IMPORTANT: If the system finds the same image in both tabs, it’ll automatically tidy things up by removing the duplicate from the main tab. This keeps your feed clean and avoids any confusion for distributors. (This is not an error)

Hero Image

The Hero Image is the primary shot displayed in the main preview window (just above the upload box). By default, the system uses the very first image at the top of your list.

Sorting images

You can easily change the order of your images using the “hamburger” grab handle on the left of each listing. Just click and drag an image up or down to create your preferred sequence.
