“We also have new attributes you can add to existing Product Types. When creating a listing, you can view these new or modified Product Types in Seller Central by navigating through Inventory, Add Products via upload, and selecting the appropriate template to download. These changes will not affect your existing selection but you can provide these additional attributes through the Add a Product Tool and Bulk upload.”
