Re-running Enrichment

After you’ve reviewed your AI-generated content, you’ll often want to re-run enrichment to improve results. Maybe your product descriptions need more detail, or you want to tighten up your category assignments. This article covers when and how to re-run enrichment safely.

​

When to Re-run Enrichment

Re-run enrichment when you’ve made any of these changes:

• Updated attribute prompts — You refined your prompt for product descriptions or added brand guidelines.
• Added new acceptable values — You expanded the list of valid categories or size options.
• Added more sources — You imported additional product data (images, specs, reviews) that the AI should use.
• Fixed attribute configuration issues — You corrected a field type, enabled AI on an attribute, or changed the product data context.

You might also re-run enrichment if you’re not happy with the quality of previous output and want to test a new approach.

​

How to Re-run: Your Two Options

When you re-run enrichment, you have two very different modes:

​

Generate All Attributes

Select your products, then choose Generate → Generate All Attributes (or press ⌘↵). This mode overwrites every AI-configured attribute, whether it already has a value or not. Use this when you’ve made significant prompt updates or configuration changes and want the AI to start fresh. What happens:

• Every attribute with “Use AI” enabled gets regenerated.
• Existing values are replaced, including any manual edits you made to those cells.
• Manually edited attributes (those with “Use AI” disabled) are left alone.

​

Generate Empty Attributes Only

Select your products, then choose Generate → Generate Empty Attributes Only. This mode preserves any values that are already filled in and only generates values for empty cells. Use this for incremental enrichment — filling gaps as you add new sources or attributes without touching what’s already there. What happens:

• Only empty cells get values from AI.
• Existing values (from previous AI runs or manual edits) stay exactly as they are.
• Manually edited attributes are never touched.

Understanding What Changes and What Doesn’t

The key difference is this: Pro tip: If you have manually edited some cells and don’t want them overwritten, use “Generate Empty Only” — it respects your manual work.

​

Testing Before You Scale

Never update a prompt and immediately re-run on your entire catalog. Test first:

1. Pick a small batch — Select 5–10 representative products.
2. Run Generate All — Apply your updated prompt to just these test products.
3. Review the output — Check if the new results are better than before.
4. Compare side by side — Look at before and after values. Did tone improve? Are keywords included?
5. If satisfied, scale — Select your full catalog and re-run with confidence.
6. If not satisfied, iterate — Refine your prompt again and test on the same 5–10 products.

Re-running Specific Attributes Only

You can’t target individual attributes through the Generate button — when you run Generate, all AI-enabled attributes are processed. If you need to re-run just one attribute (say, descriptions), here’s the workaround:

1. Go to Workspace → Attributes.
2. Find every other attribute with “Use AI” enabled.
3. Disable “Use AI” on each one temporarily.
4. Run Generate All — now only your target attribute will generate.
5. Review the output.
6. Go back to Workspace → Attributes and re-enable “Use AI” on the other attributes.

This takes a few extra steps, but it’s the only way to isolate a single attribute.

Common Issues and Fixes

My values look exactly the same as before. Check that your prompt actually changed. Small tweaks (removing one word) might not create visible differences. Try a more substantial change (add a paragraph about target audience, change tone from “technical” to “friendly”). I lost my manual edits. You used Generate All on attributes you’d manually edited. Switch to “Generate Empty Only” next time to preserve your work. If the damage is recent, you can undo with Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z immediately. Some products didn’t generate new values. Check if those products have required attributes that are still empty (e.g., a missing “Brand” field that your prompt depends on). The AI won’t generate values if it doesn’t have the inputs it needs. Fill in required fields first, then re-run. Re-run is taking too long. Large catalogs take time. If you’re re-running your entire catalog at once, consider batching instead (see article 3.14). You can also close other browser tabs to free up resources.
