# How can I block or unblock products?
## You can prevent certain products from being sent to stores through the "Visual Merchandiser" option available in Master Data Menu or "Data upload" in Daily Data Menu.
#### **Visual Merchandiser**
- Go to the “Master Data" menu and select "Visual Merchandiser”.
- Tick the products to be blocked from being sent to a given store, and save the changes by pressing the “Block” button.
- You can also unblock previously blocked products by ticking them and pressing the “Unblock” button.
If you need to block/unblock a number of products, use the **“Bulk Editing”** option.
- Click the "Bulk Editing".
- Select the option that meets the restriction, i.e.: Block a specific product category and even within a certain store category (categories already created).
- Once the desired group of products and/or stores has been selected, select block/unblock option. You can also add new restrictions later.
#### 
#### **Data Upload**
- Go to the “Daily Data" menu and select "Data Upload”.
- In Data type, select "Layout Master" or "Layout Master FA". This option lets you upload the store layouts and block/unblock products in Replenishments and Store Transfers or First Allocation module.
- The file must contain 4 columns, named exactly as in the picture below so each line allows you to refer to a product-store combination:
**ProductRef**: This is the product reference.
**StoreCode:** The code store.
**Replenishment or Replenishment\_FA:** These columns should contain:
"1” if we want to restore /allocate
“0” if we want to block
#### **Blocks per size**
This is an optional functionality, so first, you need to ask Nextail support to activate it through a ticket.
To configure them, you will need to upload a file through the Data upload page
The file must contain the following columns
- SKURef
- StoreCode
- Replenishment: 1 is non blocked, 0 is blocked
Note: These blocks are not currently visible in the platform.
