I have quite a few items in my store that are missing pictures or need some sort of editing of the listing. Same goes for items included in my "on-line" inventory.
Is there a way to import my on line data into Sales Manager Pro - make changes and then export it.
I have a broadband connection, but making changes in the browser is excruciatingly slow.
Also, is there a way to see a thumbnail of the picture in the on-line inventory? Seems that I have to open every item to see if the picture is up to date.

Hello,
To attach an image to a store item, go to the item in your inventory and proceed to the edit screen. Select your image -- it should appear in the image preview box to the right of the image list. Click on the paperclip icon to attach it to the item, then save.
If you would like to import your online inventory into Sales Manager Pro, you will first need to download your inventory into a .csv file. Here is the link that will allow you to download your online inventory:
Once the inventory has been downloaded into a .csv file, it can be imported using the following steps:
In Sales Manager Pro, go to Tools -> Inventory Importer -> Text File (comma-separated fields.) Find your file, click "Import", and map the fields.
If you find that there are non-matching fields, leave the map field blank. Note that the field titles in the inventory importer do not necessarily match the downloaded inventory title exactly. Also, if you are using Sales Manager Pro, be sure that you detach any images that have been removed online before you download your inventory, as you will receive an error on import if the image attached to your inventory item does not exist online.
Unfortunately, online and offline inventory do not synchronize. There is a way to get items from Pro into your online inventory -- if that is what you wanted to do, let me know, so I can instruct you on how to do this.
Images On is the way to turn on the thumbnail images for inventory.
