If the SKU already exists in your store, the re-import updates the print variant settings that creativehub manages \u2014 paper, sizes, framing and so on. It doesn&#x27;t touch your store-side edits, such as listing title, description, images, price, tags or collections.<\/p>\n<h4>One important caveat<\/h4>\n<p>If you change the SKU in creativehub, the old and new SKUs won&#x27;t match, so the link breaks. To keep orders flowing to the correct product, you&#x27;d need to update the SKU in your store listing manually.<\/p>\n<h4>Best practice<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Only re-import a product when you&#x27;ve changed its print settings in creativehub, such as adding a new paper option or size.<\/li>\n<li>For store-side changes like pricing, description or visibility, manage those directly in your store platform \u2014 they won&#x27;t be affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Related articles<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/what-are-the-options-for-importing-to-my-store\/\">What product details import to my store?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/how-do-i-import-art-print-products-to-my-shopify-store\/\">How do I import products from my creativehub account to my website?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/can-i-customise-products-in-shopify\/\">Can I change the details of the product listing on my website or ecommerce store?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/squarespace-wrong-sku-number\/\">Why have my imported product SKUs changed to Squarespace SKUs?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, re-importing a product won&#8217;t overwrite your store edits, as the connection works by SKU.
