FAQ
Why can't I attach a HEIC or WEBP photo?
Material attachments support PDF, Microsoft Word, PNG, GIF, JPG, CSV, plain text, and HTML files, not HEIC or WEBP. If you're attaching a photo taken on an iPhone, which saves photos in HEIC by default, convert it to JPG or PNG first.
Product, variation, and listing photos use a different upload feature that does accept HEIC and WEBP files, up to 6 MB in size.
How do I delete a wrongly placed attachment?
If you've added an attachment to the wrong record or entry, follow these steps to delete it:
- Locate the Record or Entry.
- Find the Attachment Section.
- Remove the Attachment.
-
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
