Shopify B2B catalogs assigned to company locations often need finer control than whole products. You can now manage catalog membership variant by variant with a Catalogs import.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Variant columns on the Catalogs sheet** - Add `Product: Variant ID` or `Product: Variant SKU` to include or exclude a single variant from a catalog (see [Catalog fields](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11550231-catalog-fields)).
- **Every catalog type** - Variant rows work for company location B2B catalogs, Shopify Markets catalogs, and app catalogs.
- **SKU-only rows** - A variant SKU or ID identifies its product, so the `Product: Handle` column is optional.
- **Partial products** - MERGE rows that list specific variants add the product to the catalog with only those variants included.
- **Round-trip exports** - Exports list each excluded variant as a DELETE row; change it to MERGE to re-include the variant.
