Each product-level issue also contains a “Learn more” link that directs you to specific instructions for fixing the issue. Learn more about Issues in Merchant Center .
Note: Removing a data source that uses a Google Sheet from your Merchant Center doesn’t delete the Google sheet itself. Furthermore users of your Merchant Center account that had access to the Google Sheet will retain access. Learn more about deleting Google Sheets or changing sharing settings .
