How to Activate Products?

I imported my list of products.

I can't see them on the site, and when i look at the categories in the admin panel it says, for example, 0 out of 300 active.

How to I make them active?

Thanks

Re: How to Activate Products?

i see how to do it one by one...but i just imported 600 products, so do i have to go through one by one, or is there a way to activate them all at once?

Re: How to Activate Products?

If you put them into a category, then you can just disable the category, and then re-enable it, and when you do that it'll ask you whether you want to enable all the products within it.

Re: How to Activate Products?

In future, I suggest that you alter your import to set the products_status field to 1 if you want the products enabled right away.
