There are many products in the store and some of them have lost their relevance (for example, discontinued – end of life). You don’t want to delete (hide) them, as it is possible that search engine “additional traffic” goes to it. In addition, there are characteristics, there are specifications inherent in the product. I would like the archived goods to be available via a direct link, but they did not participate in the lists anywhere, including not getting into the sitemap. This is implemented by many manufacturers and large trading platforms
The module has its own interface for managing statuses.
