Commit catalog changes to classification server

Changes in the local status can be recognized by red-colored directories and the respective icon .

A newly imported catalog is marked by a blue plus sign on all icons. After an import the catalog should be initially uploaded to the server and afterwards is visible for all users. Then, upload changes successively whenever you want.

Commit catalog changes to classification server

Note If the commit has been successful then at the end of the log, "finished" is displayed. Each commit results in an entry in the history. You can restore every version of history. On this see Section 1.3.6.6.1, “ Show change history / Show history of products in subtree ”. The more intermediate steps the more precise you can restore a certain status.
