Deployment of Fix to Merge Designs Together Quickly and Easily

04/22/2024:

I realized there is already a way to merge designs together. The "To design" button already does merging, in essence. You can select a mix of designs and loose products and use "To design" to merge them all into one new or existing design:

In this sloppy example I just copy the name of one of the designs and paste it into the "Name" text box:

When I click "Add all", this will just add the first design's members to the second one's and delete the first design record. I was testing this out in a local developer's copy of the data with one of our larger stores. It was very cool how quickly I was able to create a bunch of new designs. Some of them were chopped into two or more designs, because names were not consistent. But it was easy to use the "To design" button to merge those designs together.

This is so much faster than trying to craft collections on Zazzle.

I will admit that I took one shortcut in my testing though. I did not bother adding custom cover images for the designs I hastily constructed in my dev database. This is an example of where this feature recommended two different designs because the products' names differed:

These are typical examples of suggested designs:
