# Product Attribute

**Product Attributes** are pieces of data that can add more technical information to your product and help you to refine your catalog while browsing/searching. It works in exactly the same way as product Categories. For example, you can add extra product data like ‘**Author**‘,’**Language**‘ or ‘**Format**‘ to your products.

#### Adding New Attributes to your product

Setting up attributes themselves uses an interface you will be familiar with. It’s recommended that you set up any **Attribute** you will be using over and over in this way. Navigate to **Products > Attributes** and you will be presented with the following screen:

Here you can quickly and easily add attributes. After adding, the attribute may display without **Attribute Name**. Then edit the attribute to enter the **Attribute Name** and click **save** to update.
