If the catalog of which you are viewing the articles is inherited, the Articles page appears as shown below:

Two new buttons are added: Assign selected articles (+) and Un-assign selected articles (–). These buttons are used to manage which articles of the master catalog are assigned to the inherited catalog. More information on assigning articles to inherited catalogs is available in “Manage articles of inherited catalogs“.

You can update attributes for articles with a specific model number using the Edit Model Attributes button as mentioned in “Edit model attributes” section.

If the catalog of which you are viewing the articles is a line plan, the page appears as shown below:
