Create, edit and copy products

You must be logged in to perform this action.

In the menu bar under Your Products you can create, edit and copy products of the following types:

Products can have 3 different status: Draft, Released and Published.
You create and edit products as Draft. In this state they are only visible by you. If you consider a product is ready for publication, you can release it. Once Released, the product will be reviewed by our database team and then Published. All published data records are then transferred to the PV*SOL database.
