The Linked Products page is your central hub for viewing and verifying which size recommendation quiz appears on each product in your Shopify store. This powerful tool helps you validate your product linking configuration and ensure customers see the right quiz on every product.

What is the Linked Products Page?

The Linked Products page displays a comprehensive table of all products in your store, showing:

  • Which quiz (if any) will appear on each product
  • The status of each quiz (Active or Draft)
  • Product information including images and names
  • Search and filtering capabilities
  • Links to edit quizzes and preview products

This page uses the same logic as your live storefront to determine quiz display, giving you an accurate preview of the customer experience.
