Understanding Feeds page
The Feed Management, or Feeds page, allows you to manage one or more feed configurations. You can view, modify, activate, schedule, and archive feeds and monitor their last import status. If you handle multiple feeds, you can link them together and schedule simultaneous imports to update the product data.
