Questions
Can SKUFix always repair error 8016?
No. SKUFix only applies changes that can be derived safely from the workbook and processing report. Catalog ownership, authorization, and uncertain product data remain for the seller or Seller Support.
Will diagnosis change my file?
No. Diagnosis reads a private copy. A separate corrected workbook is generated only after you approve eligible changes.
