| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |

### 🔹 Additional Tips

* Make sure your CSV files use **UTF-8** encoding.
* For color swatches, use a hex code (`#FF0000`). For image swatches, use an image URL.
* Paragraph options can be used to add explanatory text blocks between options.
