Workflow for Catalogs Management

The following figure illustrates a sample scenario for creating a catalog. It shows how you can create a catalog by importing an XML catalog file or a CSV catalog file, or by creating catalog schema. It shows how after you create your catalog schema, you can then adding a category, add a product, and add product variants to the product. After you create one or more catalogs, you can create a catalog set. And finally, after you make changes to your catalog, you publish the catalog to your Web site.
