# Curate products

For the product-based [models](/core-concepts/monetization-models.md) — affiliate, e-commerce, and display — TMN puts products into your articles. You control which ones at two levels: the **plan's product source**, and **per-article curation**. The guiding rule is simple: **you know best** — any product you choose by hand takes priority and won't be overwritten.

## Auto vs. curated

Open an article's drawer and you'll find its **Products** panel. Each product is tagged one of two ways:

* **auto** — TMN found it automatically.
* **curated** — you attached it by hand. Curated products are **locked**: automatic search won't replace them.

If you don't attach anything, products are **auto-researched at generation time**.

## Plan level: the product source

For **affiliate** plans, choose which networks TMN searches in the plan's **Article generation** panel → **Product source**. Automatic product search is available for these Content Egg modules:

* **Amazon API**, **Amazon No API**, **Bol.com**, **Walmart**, **BestBuy**, **eBay**.

You can still **manually attach** products from *any* other Content Egg module, even ones without automatic search.

## Attach products by hand

In the article's **Products** panel, click **+ Add products**. In the search box, choose a Content Egg module, type a keyword (and optionally a price range), search, and attach the ones you want. They become **curated** and stay put through regeneration. Remove one with its **×**, or use **Remove all** to start over.

## How the search runs — affiliate vs. e-commerce

The two product models find products in very different ways.

**Affiliate — searched at generation, on our server.** TMN passes your selected network modules to the generation server, which searches, ranks, and places products as it writes the article. (This is why a money article needs a product source — or manually attached products — before it will generate.)

**E-commerce — searched in your site, up front.** A product feed lives in your WordPress database and can be very large, so it isn't searched on our server. Instead:

* The planner suggests search keywords and criteria for each product article.
* When the article is created, TMN searches your feed **locally** and attaches matching products right away.
* It attaches **more than the article needs** — a pool of "reserve candidates." At generation, the AI picks the best ones for the article.
* You can **preview and edit** these suggested feed products before generating.

E-commerce works with **any product feed** — including affiliate feeds — and those feed products are searched automatically.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Adding your own feed products:** if you've edited the auto-suggested feed candidates and want to attach more, **remove the remaining reserve candidates first.**
{% endhint %}

## Next

* [**Monetization models**](/core-concepts/monetization-models.md) — where products fit per model.
* [**Generate & publish articles**](/building-a-site/generate-articles.md) — products are placed as the article is written.
