Catalogs
The Catalogs page lists all catalogs that have been generated by automation jobs. Each row shows the customer the catalog was created for, the number of SKUs and images it contains, its current status, and when it expires. Teams use this page to validate published outputs and trigger re-deliveries when needed.
