Below the name, the page displays the product ID, which is the product's unique identifier code.Next to the name, each row displays an arrow to [view the list of SKUs](#viewing-the-sku-list) associated with the product, an icon that represents [product availability](#tracking-product-availability) and the product image. |\n| **Last Update** | Date of the most recent product [indexing](/en/docs/tutorials/understanding-how-indexation-works).

For details on how to complete each field, see the article [Filling in product registration fields](/en/docs/tutorials/adding-or-editing-products).\n\n## Searching for a product\n\nTo find a specific product, you can type one of the following in the search bar:\n\n* Product ID\n* SKU ID\n* SKU EAN\n* Product name\n* SKU name\n* Product reference code\n* SKU reference code\n\nAfter entering information in the search bar, it expands to display existing criteria. Clicking the desired option immediately triggers the search and returns the results. To clear the search, click the X icon in the search bar.\n\n> ℹ️ Search results are sorted by the most recent updates: the more recently a product or SKU was updated, the higher it appears in the results.\n\n## Filtering products\n\nYou can filter the product list using the options below.

Learn more in [Why is the product not visible on the website?](/en/faq/why-is-the-product-not-visible-on-the-website). |\n| Inactive | The product becomes inactive when the merchant disables this setting, meaning they don't want to sell it at the moment. All inactive products are unavailable for sale. |\n\nThe same availability icons also apply to SKUs, as explained in the next section.\n\n## Tracking product availability\n\nOn the **Products and SKUs** page, each product has a colored icon that indicates its availability for sale.

This means the seller marked the product as available for sale, but it is currently not sellable.Several reasons may cause a product to be unavailable, such as pricing, inventory, logistics, or others. For more information, check the article [Why is the product not showing on the website?](/en/faq/why-is-the-product-not-visible-on-the-website) |\n| White | `Inactive in the catalog` | The product is disabled and has an inactive status.When a seller disables a product, it means they do not intend to sell it.
