  4. You can also click Enhance with AI if you want AI to improve your product description automatically.

AI can help you:

  • Improve readability

  • Optimize wording

  • Clean formatting

  • Make descriptions more marketplace-ready

  1. Once finished, click Save or Save & Export to apply your changes.

Save Options
