This article is a short tour of the SA Variant Image Automator dashboard. Each section says what the page is for and links to the article that covers it in full. For a list of what the app can and cannot do, see [Variant Image Automator] Full Feature Breakdown.
Two things to know first
The app shows shoppers only the images of the variant they pick. For that to work, two switches must be on: App status for each product, and the app embed for each theme. If you still see every image on your store, start with Why is Variant Image Automator still showing all images on my product page?
Opening the app
In your Shopify admin, click Apps, then StarApps Variant Image, which is the app's name in your Shopify admin. It opens on Home. The menu has seven pages: Home, Manage product media, Setup videos, App settings, Pricing, Our apps and Partner apps.
Home
Your starting point. It shows whether the app is live on your store and guides you through setup with the Get started and Activate app cards.

Preview app on themes
This screen is not in the menu. Click Preview app on the Activate app card on Home to open it. It lists your themes and shows whether the app embed is on in each one.

Manage product media
The main page. It lists your products, and it is where you assign each variant's images and turn the app on for a product.

Setup videos
Short videos that show how to organize a product's variant images and how to choose the featured image shown on collection pages.
