fields you need to add to the product table or find them from the list below and check the checkbox next to them as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a

possible for you to manage product columns by using the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change the title of columns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a text field for each column that you can set your custom title for each column or leave it as the default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Example, we want to change \u2018height\u2019 to \u2018product height\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose a background color<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an option for the store manager to change the background of the table&#8217;s columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"485\"

moving the cursor on the palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, we chose a yellow color for the Length (Check the result at the end of this tutorial.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change the order of columns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To better manage the column profile, you can change the order of fields you have already added to the list by

it\u2019s time to type a name for this new column profile in the \u201c<strong>Preset Name<\/strong>\u201d box and click on Save Preset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, you later have a feasible access to this column profile to easily manage product columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, to manage product columns, we selected \u201c<strong>new profile<\/strong>\u201d as the name of our new profile column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a

\u201c<strong>Delete<\/strong>\u201d in front of each field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click on \u201c<strong>Edit<\/strong>\u201d, a new pop-up called \u201c<strong>Edit Column preset<\/strong>\u201d will be displayed, and you can add or remove any column for that column profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, we added the Gallery to the<strong> <\/strong>\u201c<strong>new profile<\/strong>\u201d by clicking on \u201c<strong>Edit<\/strong>\u201d as you can see in the picture below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a

To manage product columns of your profiles, you are also able to choose the \u201ccolumn Profile\u201d option in the Bulk Edit tab, which we will discuss article below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/docs\/woocommerce-bulk-product-editing\/save-load-filter-profile-in-woocommerce-bulk-product-editing\/\">How to save \/ load filter profile on PBULKiT \u2013 Bulk Edit WooCommerce Products plugin?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To manage product columns, a special tab called \u201cColumn manager\u201d has been designed in our plugin.
