How to Set Product Content in Magento 2

The Product Content settings in Magento 2 is used to write the product description that appears on each product page. There are two separate parts in this section: Description and Short Description.

Product Content

The former lists down full features and characteristics of a product while the latter shows a short version only. The Short Description might be used in most RSS feeds and catalog listings, depending on the theme.

With the editor toolbar, you can format the description as you want. When filling in the text box, you should notice that only plain ASCII characters are accepted. In case you paste text from a word processor, remember to save it first as a plain .TXT file to remove any invisible control characters.

To enter the product description, do the followings:

  1. Sign in with your admin account. On the Admin sidebar, choose Product then select Catalog.
  2. On the product grid, click the Edit link of the product you want to edit.
  3. Now scroll down to the Product Content section and tap the Expand icon next to it.
  4. Enter/edit the main product Description to the first box. You can use the toolbar at the top of the box to format the text to your preference.
  5. Enter a Short Description of the product to the second blank field. Format the text as needed.

There is an interesting fact here that you can reshape the text boxes to as you want. In order to change the height of the text box, move the mouse to the lower-right corner and pull it to the position that applies to you. Don’t forget to use plain ASCII characters when you write in the boxes.
