Specifications are content sections that contain additional product information or data. These expandable and collapsible sections appear on the website on the product detail page where you can customize how they appear.

ISC\_ContentAdmins and ISC\_ContentEditors can create product specifications. If a user with the *Content Editor* role is not also a *Content Approver*, another user must approve their specifications.

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Catalog** > **Products**.
2. Click **Edit** for the Product you want to add specifications to.
3. Click the **Specification** tab.
4. Click **Add Specification** to add a specification record to the Product.
5. Enter the specification information:
   1. **Name** - A text field containing the name of the specification content area
   2. **Description** - A text field containing the description of the specification content area
   3. **Active** - A toggle that indicates if the specification content is active
   4. **Sort Order** - A numerical field that indicates the sort order of the specification content area
6. Click **Create Revision** and enter the specification content in the editor. For more information on targeting content to a specific segment, device or language, see [Targeted content in Spire](docId\:LHw3y58Z3nm8NermR1kY2).
7. Click **Save**.
8. To make the content available on the website, a *Content Approver* or *Content Admin* must click **Publish**.

## Import specifications

Import specifications to add detail to multiple products fast. To import specifications, ensure products exist in the Admin Console.

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Catalog** > **Products**.
2. Select **Export** to export the existing product list. Select **Specifications** from the export drop-down menu.
3. Ensure the **Name**, **Sort Order**, **Description**, **Active**, **Category,** and **Current Default Content (Content.Html)** columns are selected, then click **Export**.
   **Note:**

   :::hint{type="info"}
   **Note**

   Selecting Category from the export screen produces; Category.Language, Category.Website, Category.Parent Category, and Category.Name.  Those fields are not required for an import of a specification and are not populated fields within the exported document. Not selecting the Category field will still allow you to import specifications.
