Review Shopify AI content before it publishes
Lumi keeps the content batches you start in review until you publish them.
Yes, Shopify AI drafts can wait for your approval
Content batches you start always create drafts for review. Maintain can generate selected new-product content and missing image alt text after product updates. Enabled Maintain automation can publish automatically. Turn it on only for content you want published without prior review.
Review selected Shopify products before publishing
Use five products from one collection as an illustrative starting batch. Pick items whose facts you can check today, review each draft, and finish verification before expanding the selection.
1. Choose products you can verify
Open the connected catalog in Lumi and select the matching products. Compare names, variants, and images with Shopify. Prioritize missing buying information or recent launches; set aside products with unresolved supplier facts. A public scan finding is a starting clue, not an automatic product selection.
2. Select only the fields that need work
Separate an empty field from wording that needs improvement. Choose descriptions or product-image alt text on any plan; SEO titles and descriptions require an eligible paid plan. Check the exact images, selected product count, plan batch limit, and credit estimate. Keep useful existing fields out of the selection.
3. Generate with confirmed context
Check product details, images, and any eligible brand or language settings before starting. Correct uncertain specifications first. Batches you start remain drafts regardless of automation settings. When generation finishes, check which drafts succeeded and which items failed or still need attention; generation alone does not mean publication.
4. Review every selected draft
Read each description against the source facts: material, dimensions, ingredients, care, compatibility, and package contents where relevant. Match alt text to the exact image. Read SEO title and description pairs together for specificity and repeated wording. Edit unsupported claims, regenerate when available, or leave the draft unpublished.
5. Publish approved updates
Confirm the products and fields once more, then publish only the reviewed drafts. Inspect each outcome and keep failed or pending items on a follow-up list. Do not assume that publishing a group updated every selected field, or retry an uncertain item before checking its current Shopify value.
6. Verify the Shopify result
Reopen each product in Shopify admin and compare its saved description and search-listing fields with the approved draft. Open the matching image or file to check alt text. View the storefront on mobile for formatting and check public title and meta-description output. Google may choose different search text. Record checked URLs and exceptions before starting the next batch.
Use automation without giving up the review step
Content batches you start always create drafts for review. Maintain can generate selected new-product content and missing image alt text after product updates. Enabled Maintain automation can publish automatically. Turn it on only for content you want published without prior review.
Review several products together
Work through plan-sized product groups instead of copying content between an AI chat, a spreadsheet, and Shopify one field at a time.
Keep brand context connected
Eligible plans can use brand guidance and choose one of 17 languages for future drafts. This is not Shopify Markets translation management.
Choose how new-product content publishes
Maintain can automate drafts for selected new-product content and missing image alt text after product updates; enabled automation can publish automatically after you opt in. This setting never changes merchant-started batches. Product-update checks cover the first 50 media items; use a manual batch for gaps beyond those items.
Keep accessibility claims bounded
Product-image alt text can support catalog accessibility work, but automated drafts and scans do not certify WCAG, ADA, or EAA compliance. Human review is still required.

Can I edit or reject a generated draft?

No. The review step gives your team control, but you are still responsible for checking product accuracy, brand fit, accessibility context, and legal requirements before publishing.
