This update changes how product publishing works in your spreadsheets. You can schedule a product on each sales channel, the old Published columns give way to per-channel columns, and publishing problems now come with clear messages.

### What's New

- **Published At columns** - set `Published At: Online Store` (or another channel) to a future date to schedule the product there ([Published At](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#publications-published-at)).
- **Variant Published At columns** - exports show the date each variant was published on each channel ([Variant Published At](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#publications-variant-published-at)).
- **Sales channels by default** - new product exports include the `Published:` and `Published At:` columns of every sales channel.

### Heads-up

- **Old Published columns** - new exports leave out `Published`, `Published At`, and `Published Scope`; saved exports keep them and imports still read them.
