When a new export feed is created, the latest available mapping for that channel is saved to that export feed. The mapping determines which fields are mandatory, recommended and optional for the channel.
To ensure that changes to the specification of the export feed don't break your existing feeds, we keep this mapping the same as when the export feed was first created.
Specifications of channels change over time, so if you want the Finalize step of an export feed to represent the latest specification, you must update the mapping of your feed.
Follow these steps to update the mapping of an export feed:
- Navigate to Feeds > [Your feed] (the feed that you want to update the mapping for).
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Click on the gear dropdown and select Update mapping.
- Select Update mapping in the pop-up.
The mapping of the fields in the Finalize step is now updated.
What does updating the mapping of an export feed do?
By updating the mapping of an export feed, Channable will check the existing fields that are mapped in the feed template and if anything has been changed or added. These changes and additions will then appear in the Finalize step.
