How to Avoid Adding Same Photographs to Similar Products
If you have a number of product groups, where the products differ from one another only by their features, while their appearance is identical (or almost identical), you can select the option Use group's image for missing photo.To take advantage of this opportunity, you should assign a photograph to the group, and all items within the group will have the group photograph. That will let you avoid setting identical photographs for similar items.
(To assign a photograph to a group, temporarily disable showing the gallery or, in the gallery click on the More button by the group name).
Also, if this is a major feature of your product list, we recommend choosing 'compact_catalog' as a printed catalog template. That template is optimized for displaying such product lists.
We hope this feature will even more simplify the creation of YOUR digital catalog!
