Shared images across all variants
Keep size charts, packaging and lifestyle shots visible whatever the shopper picks.
Not every photo belongs to one colour. A size chart, a packaging shot, a care-instructions card or a lifestyle image should show no matter which variant a shopper selects.
That's what the Shared across all variants area at the bottom of the Assign images editor is for.
How to share an image
Leave it where it is. Any image you never drag onto a value row stays in Shared across all variants and is added to every variant's gallery.
If an image is already assigned to a value and you want it shared instead, drag it back down into the shared area, then click Save.
What shoppers see
When a shopper changes variant:
the variant-specific images change with the selection;
the shared images stay visible, appearing after the variant's own images.
You can mix the two freely — a variant's gallery is its own images followed by the shared ones.
Good candidates for sharing
Size charts and measurement tables
Packaging and unboxing photos
Lifestyle or in-use photography that isn't colour-specific
Care and washing instructions
Brand or promotional images
With several options
On a multi-option product, "shared" means not assigned to any value of an option you're using. Those images are appended to every variant's gallery after the images the options have in common. Drag order in the shared area controls the order they appear in.
