FAQ

What happens if I update an item in one list?

If you update an item in one list, the changes will be automatically reflected in all other lists where that item appears. This ensures consistency across all lists containing the item.

Can I remove an item from a list without it affecting other lists?

No, removing an item from one list will remove it from all lists where the item exists. If you need the item to be excluded from a specific list but kept in others, consider duplicating the item.

How do I know which lists an item is found?

The Jolt web app does not diasply all lists where an item is found. To manage this, you may need to check each list individually or keep track of item placements manually.

Can I copy items from multiple lists at once?

No, you can only copy items from one list at a time. If you need items from multiple lists, you will need to repeat the process for each list.

What if I accidentally add the wrong items to a list?

If you add the wrong items, go back to the list editing view and remove/edit the items as needed by clicking on the item you want to modify and adjusting/deleting it.

Are there any restrictions on the types of items I can copy?

Generally, you can copy any items that are part of the source list. Ensure that the items you are copying are compatible with the target list’s requirements.

How can I check if my list updates were successful?

After adding items, review the list to ensure the correct items have been copied and are displayed as expected. You can also check for any error messages or prompts that might indicate issues with the update.

What if I don't see the items?

If you don’t see the items you expect, make sure the source list has the items and that you have selected the correct list for copying.
