  6. Optional: To reorder the added products, click Move Up or Move Down next to the needed products.
  7. Optional: Repeat steps 5-6 on one or more locale-specific tabs.
Multi-language setup

The following logic applies in a multi-language setup:

  • Locale-specific products overwrite the default products when the Abstract Product List is rendered on a Storefront page with the locale selected.
  • If no products are selected for a locale, the default products are displayed on a Storefront page with the locale selected.
  1. Click Save. This opens the Overview of Content Items page with a success message displayed. The created content item is displayed in the list.
