A shortlist is useful only when every saved image still points to one identifiable item. Use canonical URLs and item IDs rather than a folder of unlabeled screenshots.

Capture the reference

Save the item ID, title and page URL together. Add one sentence about the visible feature that made you save it. This makes later comparisons much faster.

Compare consistent details

Review the same set of visible details for every candidate: shape, color, closure, print placement and available images. Do not add material or quality claims that are not in the record.

Ask after narrowing

Contact about a small number of well-matched items. A concise list receives clearer answers than a large group of unrelated screenshots.

Useful tips

  • Limit the first shortlist.
  • Keep one item per line.
  • Remove rejected options.

Common questions

Can I share my shortlist?

Yes. Share the canonical item URLs and IDs so each record remains clear.
