Product Appearance on Product List and Search Pages
Use the Visual Merchandising workspace to show shoppers the most relevant products, promote specific items, and drive sales for seasonal merchandise. The workspace is the central location to manage products across product pages and search results. You can also customize the information and images shown on product cards, and select a locale to customize search results for shoppers.
The workspace offers two views for completing tasks—a grid view and a list view. Some tasks apply to only one context. For example, only in the Category context can you reposition products.
