# Add products

> Add products to a room as a section of options, a single draft, a link, a captured product or a Library item.

## Why use it

A room fills up from many places: a vendor site, a rep's email, last year's project,
your Library. Moodiri gives each of those a way in, so every product lands in the
same room with its photo, price and vendor, ready to compare, approve and order.

## When to use it

- **Your client is choosing between alternatives.** Add a [product section](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-section), then add up to three options to it.
- **You already know the product.** [Add it directly](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-directly) as a draft.
- **You found it online.** [Paste the product link](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-from-a-link) and let Moodiri fill in the details.
- **You use it often.** [Add it from the Library](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-from-the-library).

## Before you start

- A project with at least one space. See [Add a space](https://docs.moodiri.com/spaces/add-a-space).
- Open the space, then choose **View all** on its **Products** card.

## Steps

1. Open the space's **Products** tab, shown here for **Kitchen**, to see its products and sections.
2. Choose **Add product**.
3. Choose **Add a product section** to compare options with your client, or **Add product directly** for a single product.

## Add with the Chrome extension

The Moodiri Chrome extension captures a product from the vendor's own page while you
browse. You choose the photos and category, then send it to a project, space or
section. See [Capture a product](https://docs.moodiri.com/chrome-extension/capture-a-product), and
[Import a captured product](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/import-a-captured-product) for the page that
opens when you finish a capture in Moodiri.

## What happens next

- A new section appears on the **Sections** view as an empty card, ready for options.
- A directly added product appears as a draft, hidden from your client.
- From there, [send it for approval or approve it directly](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/send-a-product-for-approval-or-approve-it-directly).

## Limits

- An approval sends up to three options per section.
- New products start hidden from the client.

## Questions

### Should I start with a section or a product?

Start with a section when your client will choose between options, such as three dining tables. Add a product directly when the choice is already made or you are still collecting details.

### Can my client see a product as soon as I add it?

No. New products start hidden from the client. They appear in the portal once you share them, send them for approval, or approve them with sharing turned on.
