Editing stock in the Stock editor in the product view
About this article
Stock levels can be edited from two different views. One view is the Stock View where you will be able to set a new stock level by overriding the current level. However, if you would like to add or remove a certain amount of inventory to the current levels, this is easily done using the Stock Editor which you can access by editing the Variant in the product view or by Edit stock in stock view.

The offset feature can be used to indicate how many pieces should remain unpurchasable (read more here).

Note that the Offset is variant specific. This means that it applies to all sizes of the selected variant and to all warehouses. If you would like to set a warehouse-specific limit, use the Threshold feature instead.
