You can preview your data in Manufacturer Center without overriding your existing feeds. There are two times that you may want to test your upload:
- When you first create a feed.
- After your feed is already registered. This may apply if you haven't yet uploaded a feed file, or if you'd like to update the feed file with a new version.
