The project entails massive redistributions of SKUs.
Some searchable attributes will be deactivated.
The format of specifications will be changed significantly. The specifications will not just be improved, but they will look different.

Attributes Modifications
List of performed modifications of all attributes due to its length is separated into an Excel spreadsheet - Addendum. The spreadsheet contains both performed and planned modifications on sheets "Performed modification" and "Planned modifications" correspondingly.
The following links are feeds which include all searchable attributes, both active and deactivated. This will enable DataSource customers to see what attributes have changed and to check if these changes have been properly reflected within their databases. This feed is available in two different file formats.
