Step 8: Exclude attributes

Exclude Magento attributes in Elovate (Settings → Settings) to stop importing unused fields and clean up legacy M1→M2 clutter.

Updated over a week ago

Use Excluded Attributes to keep Elovate clean and focused. Anything you add here won’t be imported into Elovate (and if it already exists, it’ll be removed). Perfect for fields you don’t plan to manage in Elovate—especially noisy legacy stuff after an M1 → M2 migration.

Where to find it

  1. In Elovate, go to Settings → Settings → Excluded attributes.

  2. Click Edit / Add.

How it works

  • Select attributes to exclude (e.g., old/unused custom fields, deprecated flags).

  • Save.

  • Elovate will:

    • Stop importing those attributes going forward.

    • Remove them from Elovate if they were already imported.

When to use this

  • You’ve got a cluttered attribute set from a Magento 1 migration.

  • You manage certain fields exclusively in another system.

  • You want editors to see only the attributes that matter.

Heads-up: This is a data hygiene feature, not a translation toggle. Excluding here hides/removes attributes from Elovate entirely.
