Inspect and edit everything Cernel knows about a single product: its attribute values, how complete it is, its variants, and the data each connected integration sends.
The product detail page is where you see and manage everything Cernel holds for a single product. It brings the product’s attribute values, their languages, its variants, and the raw data from each connected integration into one view, and shows at a glance how complete the product is. Open it from the Products page whenever you want to check a specific product, edit a value by hand, or understand where a value came from.
Open a product from the Products page to land on its detail page. The header shows the product’s image, its categories in the Cernel Taxonomy, its identifiers (such as SKU and GTIN), and a Completeness ring. Below the header, a set of tabs organizes the rest:
Attributes: every attribute value on the product, with the language it’s filled in, where it came from, and the category it belongs to. This is where you edit values.
One tab per connected integration: the properties that integration sends for this product, shown exactly as they arrive, and how each one connects to your attributes.
Variants: the product’s variants (for example the same product in different sizes or colours), shown only when the product has them.
Events: a log of the system activity Cernel has recorded for this product, such as when it was enriched, classified, or synced.
Key concept: completeness. Completeness compares how many attributes have a value against everything the product’s category could hold (its filled values plus the category attributes still empty). It’s a guide to what’s left to fill in, not a target: reaching 100% isn’t always the goal, so fill in what’s relevant for each product.
On the Products page, click a product to open its detail page. Use Back to products in the top left to return to the list; your filters, search, and sort are preserved.

Read the header
The header summarizes the product:
Image gallery: the product’s images, including any image-typed attribute values. Use the arrows to step through them.
Categories: the paths the product is classified into, led by the Cernel Taxonomy and followed by any external standards (for example Google Product Category).
Identifiers: the product’s identifier values, each tagged with its type (SKU, GTIN, and so on).
Completeness: a ring showing the share of the category’s attributes that have a value. Hover it for the exact percentage, and hover the info icon for how it’s measured.

Browse the Attributes tab
The Attributes tab lists every attribute on the product, one row each. For each attribute you see:
Attribute: the attribute name.
Value: the current value, editable inline.
Category: the category the attribute is defined on in the Cernel Taxonomy.
Languages: which languages hold a value. With a few languages, the codes read as text (green where filled, red where missing); with more, a compact bar shows the ratio and opens a full language report when clicked.
Origin: how the value was produced. Enriched by an AI agent, Manual if someone typed it, or Imported from an integration.
Click a column header (Attribute, Category, or Origin) to sort by it, and click again to reverse the order. Attributes the category defines but the product hasn’t filled in yet appear as empty rows so you can add a value directly.
4
Edit a value
Click a value to edit it in place, then save. The editor matches the attribute type (text, HTML, a select, and so on). To fill in an attribute that has no value yet, edit its empty row the same way.
5
Edit every language at once
To work across languages, open the attribute’s actions and choose Edit translations. A panel opens with every enabled language side by side, the primary language marked, and any AI reasoning shown beside the value that has it. Edit any languages you need and save them all in one go; languages you don’t touch are left untouched.
6
Review a value's history
From an attribute’s actions, choose Show history to open its version history. Each past version is timestamped; restoring one overwrites the current value with that version. Cernel asks you to confirm first, since the restore replaces what’s there now.
7
See the product's variants
If the product has variants, open the Variants tab. Each variant lists the attributes that make it distinct (for example its size or colour) and how many sub-variants it has. Click a variant to open its own detail page.
8
Inspect integration data
Each connected integration has its own tab showing the properties it sends for this product, exactly as they arrive. The Connected attributes column shows which Cernel attributes and identifiers each property maps to, with arrows for the direction (a top arrow for values going out to the integration, a bottom arrow for values coming in). Search to find a property by name.
9
Check the product's events
Open the Events tab to see the system activity Cernel has recorded for this product. Entries appear here as the product is enriched, classified, or synced with an integration. Each row shows the event’s level (Info or Error), its domain, a short description, and when it was last seen. Use Min severity to focus on errors, and click a row to expand it for the full details: how many times it occurred, when it was first and last seen, and the integration or product it relates to. The feed is scoped to this product, so it never shows another product’s activity.
On the Attributes tab you can narrow the list several ways at once:
Search by attribute name.
Filter by language to show only attributes that hold a value in the languages you pick.
Filter by origin to show only values that were Enriched, Manual, Imported, or that have no recorded origin.
Filter by integration to show only attributes supplied by a given integration, or choose Not from an integration for values added in Cernel by enrichment or by hand.
Locked variant-defining attributes
When a product is a variant, the attributes that define its variant axis (for example the size or colour that distinguishes it) are owned by its parent and shown as locked on the variant. You’ll see the note “This attribute defines the variant, so it can’t be edited here.” This keeps a variant’s defining values consistent with the parent. Edit these values on the parent product instead.
Mapped and unmapped integration properties
On an integration tab, properties split into two sections. Mapped properties connect to a Cernel attribute or identifier, listed in the Connected attributes column. Unmapped properties arrive from the integration but aren’t connected to anything, so their values aren’t applied to your products. To start using them, open the integration’s settings with Configure mappings and map them there.Editing a mapped property’s value on this tab writes to the Cernel attribute it maps to, not to the integration’s raw incoming value (which is refreshed on the next sync).
How completeness is measured
The ring divides the number of attributes that have a value by everything the product’s category could hold: its filled values plus the category attributes that are still empty. Cernel measures against the category the product is actually classified into, not wherever you browsed in from. A product with no category attributes shows no ring.
No. Completeness shows how much of a category’s attribute set a product has filled in, as a guide to what’s left. Not every attribute is relevant to every product, so fill in what matters for the product rather than chasing 100%.
Why can't I edit a value? It says the attribute defines the variant.
That attribute defines the product’s variant axis (such as its size or colour) and is owned by the parent product, so it’s locked on the variant to keep the two consistent. Edit the value on the parent product instead.
When I enrich a variant, does it use the parent product's data, like its images?
Only for attributes the variant doesn’t already have a value for. Enrichment checks the variant’s own data first, for every attribute referenced in the prompt. If the variant already holds a value there (for example its own images), that value is used and the parent product’s value for that attribute is not pulled in as well. If the variant has no value of its own for that attribute, Cernel looks for it on the parent product, then the parent’s own parent, and so on up the chain, stopping as soon as it finds a value or running out of ancestors to check.
What do the Enriched, Manual, and Imported origins mean?
The Origin column shows how a value was produced: Enriched means an AI agent generated it, Manual means someone entered or edited it by hand, and Imported means it came in from a connected integration. A value with no recorded source shows no origin.
What happens when I restore an old value from history?
Restoring replaces the current value with the version you picked, for that language. Cernel confirms before it does this, because the current value is overwritten. Other languages and other attributes are unaffected.
I edited an integration property here. What did it change?
Editing a property value on an integration tab writes to the Cernel attribute that property maps to. It does not change the integration’s raw incoming value, which Cernel refreshes on the next sync. Properties that aren’t mapped to an attribute can’t be edited here.
What does the Events tab show?
The Events tab lists the system activity Cernel has recorded for this specific product, such as enrichment, classification, and integration syncs. It’s scoped to the product you’re viewing, so it only ever shows that product’s own activity, not the whole account’s. Each entry is graded Info or Error. Filter by Min severity to focus on problems, and expand a row to see the full details, including how often it occurred and when it was first and last seen.
