# Shopify Matrixify
The bulk-data workhorse of the catalog-cleanup suite. Matrixify moves store data
in and out as spreadsheets, so it is how you touch thousands of records at once
instead of one at a time in the admin. Almost every destructive mistake here
comes from one of two misunderstandings: what a *blank cell* means, and what
*omitting a row* means. Internalize the safety doctrine below before you touch a
production catalog.
Canonical docs: [matrixify.app/documentation](https://matrixify.app/documentation/).
This skill is the operational playbook the docs don't spell out.
## Store access
Matrixify runs inside the store, not through the Admin API. You do the work in
two places:
- **The Matrixify app** (Shopify admin → Apps → Matrixify): run Export to pull a
sheet, run Import to push one. Every import shows an **Analyze** preview and,
after it runs, an **Import Results** file.
- **A spreadsheet** you edit locally (Excel or any CSV editor) or generate with
throwaway code.
No token lives in this skill. To verify a write landed, re-export the affected
records and inspect the cells, or read them back through the Admin API: the
storefront is CDN-cached and lies about freshness.
## Safety doctrine
Read this section twice. Every rule here was learned by someone breaking a live
store.
1. **Back up first: the export IS the backup.** Before any bulk write, run a
full export of the entity you're about to touch (Products, Collections, etc.)
and save the file. If
