The role of Content Protection is to monitor content changes that occur on the product detail page of a listing and alert you of the changes as they take place. These changes may be changes you and your team have submitted, changes another 3rd party seller has submitted, or changes Amazon has applied on their own. By 'protecting' the content, you can have a pulse on these changes and track what changes occur.
This guide will walk through the following:
Content Data Source
The Catalog API and A+ Content APIs are the data sources used in our Content Audit and Content Protection features. We use these data sources as they’re the most accurate and reliable sources available via API. Note: This data is backend data that does not match any other report, such as the Category Listing Report.
The frequency in which Kapoq syns with the Catalog API is once daily.
How to Enable/Disable Content Protection
First navigate to the Listings Module and scroll to the right in the table to view the Content Protection column.
There are three ways to enable Content Protection:
Individually Through the Grid
Through the Action Menu
In Bulk through the Bulk Upload option
Method 1 - Individually Through the Grid
Within the Listing Module SKU grid, there is a column labeled Content Protection. You can click any of the toggles within the grid to enable Content Protection. Green = enabled.
Method 2 - Through the Action Menu
You can also use the checkboxes on the far left side of the grid to select multiple SKUs at once. This will populate the action drop-down menu at the top, which has an option to 'Enable or Disable Content Protection'.
Method 3 - Via Bulk Upload
The best method to leverage when enabling Content Protection across a large number of SKUs is to use the bulk upload template.
From the Listings grid, select the 'Bulk Upload' button in the right corner, then choose the '1) Download Excel Template' option.
Thereafter, make adjustments within the file. Note: True = Enabled, False = Disabled.
Please ensure that you are not changing the layout of the template in any way, such as removing the top row, adding or removing columns, renaming columns, adding tabs, etc. Only update the cells that are indicated as editable.
Then go back to the to the Listing's grid, select the 'Bulk Upload' button, and then choose the '2) Upload Completed Template'. You will receive a message indicating if the upload was a success or if there are errors that need to be addressed. Any items that were successfully uploaded will have Content Protection enabled for them in the grid.
Monitoring Content Changes
There are a few ways in which Kapoq allows you to view content changes.
Via the Flagged Protection Alert
Content Protection
First, the Flagged Protection Alert will appear on the main dashboard and within the Content Module anytime content changes.
Within you'll see the list of Products that have had content changes since we last checked. See example below:
You can review this alert and dive deeper into each change. To remove these items from the alert, use the actions button or actions dropdown to snooze or ignore the alert.
Now to review the Content Protection Tab
Navigate to the Content Module, then to the Content Protection tab. The following table will contain all products Content Protection is enabled for.
Within the table, Kapoq displays a checkbox or red exclamation point indicating what elements on the product detail page have changed since our last check. In the table, the 'Last Checked' date is showcased.
To view the changes that have occurred, select the Zoom (+) next to the product name in the first column. Below is an example product with no changes.
If content did change within the past day, Kapoq will alert you of those changes and they will appear in the view above.
In addition, the 'Baseline' will showcase what was previously stamped and the 'Current' section will showcase what is active since the system last checked.
To evaluate all changes at once, download the Excel Export file in the top right hand side of the table. This export will showcase a few tabs and the last tab in the spreadsheet displays all the text based changes to review.
