Merch Titans App Tour: Sidebar, Home Page and What's New Bell

The title bar

The dark bar across the top of the window shows the Merch Titans logo and "Merch Titans Automation" on the left. On the right, in order:

• The bell, What's new.
• Minimize.
• Maximize, which becomes Restore when the window is maximized.
• Close, which quits the app.

The window opens maximized. On a Mac, the menu bar at the top of the screen is named "Merch Titans Automation".

The What's new bell

The bell shows what changed in the app. A yellow dot on it means there is a release you haven't opened yet on this computer. Click the bell to open a menu with two items:

• Recent updates, "What changed in the latest updates": the newest 3 releases, each with its date, title and a short list of changes. If there are more, See the full changelog appears at the end.
• Changelog, "Every update so far": every release.

Both open inside the app. To close the panel, click the × button, click outside it or press Esc. The bell reads the list fresh each time you open it. If it can't, it says "Updates couldn't be loaded. Please check your connection and try again."

The same notes are on the website at merchtitans.com/docs/changelog. See Updates for how new versions reach you.

• Log Out signs you out of the app. See Sign in.

Status dots

Each marketplace in the sidebar, except MyDesigns, has a dot. Hover over it to see "Ready to upload" (green) or "Needs setup" (orange). The dot only checks that the marketplace's settings are filled in. It doesn't check that you're signed in to that marketplace.

Reopen last upload

Reopen last upload takes you back to the upload screen of your last Easy Mode upload, so you can see its listings or upload the unfinished ones again. If you have designs open in Easy Mode, it may first ask "Replace your current designs?" ("Reopening your last upload replaces the designs you're working on now."). Click Keep working to stay, or Reopen to go ahead. The link is hidden when the window is narrow.

The Home page

Home opens with "What would you like to do?" and "Turn your designs into listings on every marketplace you sell on." It has three ways to start:

• Recommended: "Add your designs and we do the rest" and "Easy Mode writes your listings, checks them for trademarks and uploads them for you." Click Start Easy Mode. The card shows the three steps: "Add designs", "Choose where to sell" and "Review and upload". See Easy Mode.
• Use a spreadsheet: "Already have your listings in an XLSX file?" Click Upload spreadsheet, or Get the blank template to save an empty layout.xlsx. See Spreadsheet upload.
• Import from MyDesigns: "Bring in listings you've already built in MyDesigns." See MyDesigns for the import steps.

Below them:

• Where you sell: "Turn on the marketplaces you want to upload to." A switch for each of Amazon Merch, Printful, Redbubble, TeePublic and Printify, each with a status line such as "Ready to upload", "Ready, using your Amazon publish settings", "Ready, using products chosen here", or "Needs setup:" followed by the first missing setting. When the app opens, it switches off any marketplace whose settings aren't complete; switch it back on here once it's set up.
• The agreement box: "I agree to assume all responsibilities and risks that may be involved by using this tool.", ticked by default.
• Settings backup: Save and Load a .mtasettings file. See Save and load settings.
• Links: Dashboard (your merchtitans.com dashboard), Discord, and the free Redbubble tags and Etsy tags tools on merchtitans.com.

Video Training

Video Training has "Short walkthroughs to help you get set up and uploading. Videos open on YouTube."

• Getting started: "Easy Mode: full tutorial", "AI listings and trademark fixes" and "Set up your spreadsheet".
• Marketplace setup: videos for Amazon Merch, Printful, Redbubble and TeePublic. The Printify card isn't a video: it opens the Printify page in the app, "Step-by-step setup in the app".

Video tutorials are also on the website at merchtitans.com/tutorials.

Next: Updates, or upload your first designs with Easy Mode.
