No. SleekView reads and writes the same WooCommerce fields directly, but it can sit alongside Stock Manager if you prefer to keep both. Some stores run Stock Manager for its scheduled stock updates and use SleekView for daily editing; others migrate fully. Either path works because the underlying data is just WooCommerce postmeta.

Yes. Variations show as their own rows with parent context so you can sort or filter at the variation level while still seeing which parent they belong to. Bulk operations respect parent/child relationships, which means changing the parent's regular price does not silently overwrite per-variation prices.

Yes. Filtered views export to CSV with the columns you see on screen. SleekView itself is for editing inside WP Admin, not for round-tripping with external sheets, so for large imports the standard WooCommerce CSV importer remains the recommended path.

Yes. Products are read through the standard WooCommerce product API, which is unchanged by HPOS. HPOS only affects order tables, and SleekView's stock manager view does not query order tables, so the compatibility is automatic with no configuration.

Yes. Columns can be made read-only per role, on top of WooCommerce capabilities. A warehouse role might see the price column but not be able to edit it, while a merchandiser sees prices as editable but stock as read-only. Combine with saved views to scope what each role even sees in the first place.

No. SleekView only loads on its own screens and uses virtualized rendering for large lists. Other admin pages are untouched, so the rest of WP Admin behaves exactly as it did before. The grid itself only renders the rows currently in view, which keeps DOM size low even for catalogs with tens of thousands of rows.

Yes. Every save routes through the standard WooCommerce product update path, which fires woocommerce_product_set_stock and related actions. Anything listening for those, like email notifications, low-stock automations, or webhook integrations, continues to work without changes.

Yes. A thumbnail column is available and renders lazily, so even thousands of rows with images do not slow the grid. The thumbnail is read from the standard WooCommerce featured image, not a duplicate cache, so updates in the product editor show up in the grid on the next refresh.
