- Choose whether you want to stock levels to sync only or a full sync of all product data (useful when you want to update attributes other than stock levels)

- Click Sync products
The bulk update operation might take a while to complete depending on the number of selected products. You can watch the sync operation status in the activity feed.
Bulk publish / hide products
