Your product information page is a centralised location where all products are stored, regardless of their completion or status. With this in mind, creating products and assigning attributes to them can enhance visibility and make it easier for teams and partners to find and collaborate on products.

Moreover, this comprehensive overview of all product details can help ensure that the right information is available to the right people at the right time. This can ultimately help businesses streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and drive growth.
