Additionally
- "Delete entries in the base catalog that are not on the site" - when this flag is set, the data in the base catalog about products and categories that are not on the site at the time of loading will be deleted. It is used when changing data on the site, when it is necessary to update the base catalog in Elbuz, based on the data that was changed directly on the site. If the checkbox is not checked, the data in the base catalog will be added (supplemented) with data from your site.
- “Get only links to photos” - this mode allows you to get only links to photos from your site, in order not to load your site for downloading all photo files at the time of downloading data. We recommend enabling this flag if it is disabled.
