How to scan and save listings from a website

A visual walkthrough of scanning a public catalog, reviewing products and saving the selected listing batch.

Listing Vault scan review showing product cards and selected listings

1. Open the import workspace

From the Listing Vault workspace, choose Import listing and switch to Entire website. Paste the public website URL you are permitted to scan into the website field. The workflow below uses a generic catalog demonstration and does not include credentials or private connection data.

2. Run a bounded catalog scan

Choose the listing and page limits that fit the job, then select Scan site. Listing Vault checks permitted catalog pages and sitemaps within those limits, respects robots.txt and reports progress while the scan runs. A scan is best-effort: a source can block requests, require authentication or expose only part of its catalog.

3. Review before saving

When the scan finishes, review the detected title, description, price, source link and image count on the product cards. Use Select all or select individual cards. The generic demonstration shows a batch selected before saving.

Only archive image files when you own them or have a license that covers the intended use. A rights choice records your declaration; it does not transfer copyright or override the source site's terms.

4. Save and verify the library

Choose Save selected to add the reviewed batch to your vault. After the save completes, open All listings and verify the count, source labels and draft status. The saved library is where you can continue the review without confusing a temporary scan result with a finished listing.

Saving a listing is preparation, not automatic publication. Edit the copy, review rights and use the available publishing or export controls only when the content is ready and permitted for your destination.

For a repeatable handoff, keep the source URL with each draft, compare a few saved cards against the original catalog and remove any image references you do not want to carry forward. If a scan is interrupted, use the saved-scan or resume controls rather than starting overlapping jobs. This keeps the review set understandable and helps prevent duplicate imports. Check the final saved count before sharing a package or starting a downstream publishing review.
