Highlighted cells show edits you've made in the Sheet. These changes sync back to the app in the next step. The app only reads changes โ€” it never overwrites your Sheet.

Sync Changes Back to the App
After editing in Sheets, go back to the app's Stats tab and tap Sync Now. Your changes appear instantly.

The full loop: Capture in app โ†’ Export CSV โ†’ Import to Sheets โ†’ Edit status & listing details in Sheets โ†’ Sync back to app. The app and Sheet stay in sync, and you manage the selling workflow from your computer.
