# Additional Info

* To update product descriptions, make sure the **Description** field is mapped in the feed. Stock Sync will only update mapped fields, so leaving Description unmapped ensures it will not change.
* If your feed provides HTML descriptions, set **Wrap each column mapped in paragraph** to **None** to avoid adding extra blank lines.
