In the Settings tab you can manage default settings for all product lists, and page settings for category and landing pages, as well as search and autocomplete settings. Overrides for specific product listings or page properties on individual pages are managed in the Pages tab.
DISCLAIMER
The design and features of each application area are subject to change without notice. Screenshots, including the simulated data shown, are for illustrative purposes only.
Default settings for product lists, and search and autocomplete settings are configured independently (see image). It is possible to import the site settings from another market via the context menu in the top right corner. This import replaces the default settings and the autocomplete and search settings for the current market.
Preview and publish settings
Settings can be previewed when there are unpublished saved changes. Changed settings are indicated in the interface by an orange dot next to the setting that has been changed.
To preview the new settings for a page, a preview URL is required. It is recommended to set preview base URLs for pages in the Configuration tab of the Admin application area, and to always preview changes before publishing. Unpublished changes can be reverted, restoring the previous version of the settings.

Main product filter
A setting for a global filter. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring that products not available for sale, despite being in the catalog, are excluded from displays.

This significantly reduces query size, optimizing system performance for smoother operations.
