FILTER BY TAGS
Add Tags to variants by typing key words, separated by comas. Variants using Tags can be filtered from the VARIANTS DATA panel. Only variants holding the tags you type will be displayed in the VARIANTS LIST.
To reset the filter, just delete the keywords from the cell and all your variants will reappear.

Variant Filtering will match any keyword you type with the ones associated with each existing variant. When none of your variants are containing these tags, they will be hidden until you clear this field.
In this example, if a variant contains: “Cockpit”, “White” or “Perforated”, it will be shown and all the others will be hidden.

CUSTOM THUMBNAILS
