Previously, all products were initially created as stock products and then converted to any other type of product that you wanted to use. So this could have been static PDF products, multi-part products, MegaEdit products and so on.

0:35 With a recent update, if I go to my product management screen and go to create a new product, so the Add New button, we now get this pop-up window appearing which will give us some basic options, allowing us to directly configure a specific type of product.

0:57 So for example, you'll see that I have all of my different product types listed, and then depending on the one I pick, I might get some simple subsequent options allowing you to specify some additional information. So for example, by creating a MegaEdit product, I have the ability to directly upload and Invent MEX file if necessary.

1:19 If I go to a custom product, it allows me to select the type of custom product to utilize and so on. So it simplifies the process of product creation. If I create a MegaEdit product as an example and click create, you'll see that it takes me immediately to the product screen where I can get immediately to our MegaEdit configuration settings.

1:48 In a similar approach is taken for all of the different product types.
