When you import products to the Products Catalog, the action gets recorded in the Imports Management page. The information displayed on this page allows you to track the import process and check for errors.
How can I access the Imports Management page?
To access this page, follow these steps:
1) Click on the Products Catalog icon on the left-side menu panel:
2) Click on "IMPORT ⮟" at the top left corner of the page, and select "Manage Imports" at the bottom of the drop-down menu:
What information will I find in the Imports Management page?
Here's an explanation of the data you will see:
Status - A cloud icon indicating success and a red icon indicating errors.
Source - The type of import selected (eg. eBay, Amazon.com CSV, etc.)

What do I need to do if there were errors?
If the import action shows errors in the "Error count" column, you can hover the mouse cursor over the number of errors and then a download button will appear.
Clicking the download button will download a CSV file to your computer:
If you open the file, you will then get details of the errors. One error per row:
