When you create a new feed, the latest available mapping for that channel is saved to that 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 you first created the feed.
Specifications of channels change over time, so if you want the Mapping 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 Settings.
- Click on the gear dropdown and select Update mapping.
- To confirm, click Update mapping in the pop-up.
The mapping of the fields in the Mapping step is now updated. This means that Channable will check the existing fields that are mapped in the feed template for any changes or updates. These changes and additions will then appear in the Mapping step.
