# Features & Items

> A card-based catalogue of individual features, items and specifications, linked to products and use cases.

## Overview

Features & Items is a separate catalogue below the product level: individual features, items and SKUs, each with a title, category, description, short description, benefits, media, and links to [Products](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/products) and [Use Cases](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/use-cases). As the page puts it: "Manage product features, items, and specifications in a card-based format."

This detail feeds the product detail view (as linked features), [AI Assistant](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/ai-assistant) retrieval and the [Knowledge Graph](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/knowledge-graph) — so the AI can answer specific questions like "does it support X?" instead of staying vague.

> **Import a whole spec sheet in one go**
> 
> You don't have to type features one by one — **Prompt Features** turns a pasted text or an uploaded spec file into organized feature cards automatically.

## Who needs it

Build out this catalogue if you are:

-   **A product marketer** — benefit-level detail here becomes concrete claims in AI-written copy.
-   **Selling a technical product** — specifications live here, so the AI Assistant can answer feature questions accurately.
-   **Migrating from spreadsheets** — import your existing feature list via **Prompt Features** instead of retyping it.
-   **Managing a large catalogue** — items and SKUs that are too granular for the Products page belong here.

Use the search field and the card/table toggle to keep large catalogues manageable, and the **PDF** export to share the full list outside the platform.

## How to use it

1.  **Add a single feature**Click **Add Feature**. A "New Feature" is created and its detail dialog opens — fill in the title, category, description, short description and benefits, and add media.
2.  **Import many with Prompt Features**Click **Prompt Features**. The "Generate Features from Text" popover lets you paste text or upload a file with feature information — CSV, Excel or PDF up to 10MB — and the AI extracts and organizes everything into cards.
3.  **Link to products and use cases**In a feature's detail dialog, link it to the [Products](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/products) it belongs to and the [Use Cases](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/use-cases) it enables. These links show up on the product detail modal and as connections in the Knowledge Graph.
4.  **Export as PDF**Click **PDF** in the header to download the whole feature catalogue as a document.

## Products vs. Features & Items

### When something belongs in Products

If it has its own price, its own audience and its own positioning, it's a product — put it in [Products](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/products). The campaign builder selects from products, not features.

### When it belongs in Features & Items

If it's a capability, module, item or SKU inside a product — something you'd list on a spec sheet — it belongs here, linked to its parent product. This keeps the product page readable while the detail stays retrievable by the AI.

### How the two connect

Each feature can link to one or more products and use cases. Open a product's detail modal and its linked features appear there; open the [Knowledge Graph](https://doc.checkgrow.com/docs/knowledge-graph) and the same links appear as edges.
