The Catalog Manager allows you to activate only the catalogs you want to use at any given time from the ones you have installed. Turning off catalogs that are not currently being used can help minimize and improve search results along with simplify browsing. You can also use this to activate any Legacy catalogs you installed as well as select Price Zones for manufacturers or individual catalogs. Deactivating a catalog does not remove it from your downloads.

The Catalog Manager can be accessed with the binders icon on the Home, View, and Price tabs. You can also open this with the keyboard shortcut Shift + F2.

At the bottom of the Catalog Information panel, you can also left click on the gear icon and select Catalog Manager from this menu.

   • Number of Legacy Catalogs activated. These can only be activated in the Advanced mode as noted below.
