ApiMate reads a Shopify catalog, turns a merchant's instruction into a plan with one row per change, shows the rows, and writes only what the merchant approves. Previous values are saved per row; revert is a new job built from them. Reads need no approval.

## AI disclosure
- Write actions change Shopify data only after merchant approval.
- Write actions require merchant approval on the exact rows shown.
- Merchant and customer data are not used to train models.
