• If it is set to the main variation, the whole product won't get exported.
• If it is set to any other variation, only the specific variation won't get exported.

Exclude categories

Assign the tag to any category, that should be excluded from the export. The category will not appear in the category filter and the category page will be handled by the Plenty Navigation.
