Edit Existing Item


When editing existing items, please note whether the item is coming from the Thinkspace Cloud or if you have uploaded the item yourself to your local site admin.

  • If the item is coming from the Thinkspace Cloud then you will only be able to edit certain fields and certain fields will only let you ADD an option but not OVERRIDE the existing option. 
  • If the items is coming from the Local Admin then you will be able to add/edit/override all fields.


To Start:

  1. Navigate to Catalog > Items
  2. You will now see the Catalog Items List View 
  3. Click on the item you want to edit. To help you find the item you're looking for, you can use one of two strategies:
    • You can use the filters at the top to narrow your search by Brand, Item Type, Status, etc...
    • You can use the Search bar at the top right to enter the exact Stock Number of the item you're trying to edit. (Note: If you have any filters selected while also using the Search option, the filters will be active so you may need to turn off the filters - choose All from the dropdown menu - before using the Search bar to get the exact item you're looking for.)

Once you've found the item you want to edit, click on the Image, Name or Stock Number in order to get to the edit screen.

  • If the item is coming from the Thinkspace Cloud then you may ADD fields but you won't be able to OVERRIDE fields so please write to us at inventory@thinkspacehq.com if there seems to be a mistake in the provided information.
  • If the item was uploaded by you or your team to the Local Admin then follow the instructions above for editing fields and adding new information.

Remove or Hide Existing Item


When removing or hiding existing items, please note whether the item is coming from the Thinkspace Cloud or if you have uploaded the item yourself to your local site admin.

  • If the item is coming from the Thinkspace Cloud then you will NOT be able to completely remove the item from your admin. You will only be able to Hide this item. (Note: If you want to remove an entire Brand's worth of inventory coming from the Thinkspace Cloud, please write to inventory@thinkspacehq.com to make the request and have the entire Brand and all related products removed).
  • If the item was uploaded by you or your team to the Local Admin, you will be able to either Remove or Hide this item.


For items coming from the Thinkspace Cloud:


  1. Navigate to Catalog > Items
  2. You will now see the Catalog Items List View 
  3. You will need to use our bulk-edit feature in order to Hide items from the Thinkspace Cloud.
    • If you want to hide multiple items at one time, you can use the filters at the top to narrow your search by Brand, Item Type, Status, etc...
    • If you only want to hide one item, you can use the Search bar at the top right to enter the exact Stock Number of the item you're trying to edit. (Note: If you have any filters selected while also using the Search option, the filters will be active so you may need to turn off the filters - choose All from the dropdown menu - before using the Search bar to get the exact item you're looking for).
  4. Once you've found the item(s) you want to hide, click on the checkbox to the left of the image(s). If you want to select the entire page of items to bulk-edit, click on the checkbox the left of the word "Image" which will cause all items on the page to have their individual checkbox selected.
  5. Click on the Action dropdown menu and choose Deactivate Selected Items.
  6. Click Apply. (Note: If you are editing multiple items at one time, the page may take a while to reload, please be patient. If you get an error message, please return back to the previous Catalog Items List View page and see if your edits actually did take effect. Sometimes the edits were successful even if you saw an error message. If you saw an error message and your edits were not applied, please write to support@thinkspacehq.com for help).
