Introduction
This guide explains how to add drops to products in TRAEDE. Drops are used to categorize products by release cycles (e.g., SS23, AW24) and help with organizing and filtering your catalog. This article focuses on assigning existing drops to products — either manually or in bulk.
📝 Note: If you haven’t created any drops yet, we recommend checking out our guide: How to create a drop
📝 Important: Before making bulk updates, always export your product list to have a backup.
