Relying on file-sharing services like Dropbox to sell products often costs stores an extra $750 per brand and hurts sales

Your Bridge has a new time-saving feature. You can now sort SKUs that belong to the same product. This helps you present the SKUs in the order that you wish.
In the example shown, we see an Annieglass product that comes in two finishes: gold and platinum. With the new feature, Annieglass can update the order of which SKU (finish) appears first on the page. It simply drags the two-sided arrow up or down the page, then clicks on the button "Update Product."
