Postponed changes to publishing Products using the Import API

As previously announced, we will change the behavior of the publish field when importing Product data. This change helps you to prevent accidental publishing of Products, which can negatively impact customer satisfaction and brand reputation due to poor/incomplete product information, or can lead to the premature exposure of products to customers.

As this may break existing implementations, we have postponed the implementation to 1 August 2024. This gives you additional time to prepare for this change.

Please reach out to your contact at commercetools if you have any questions.
