Competitive intelligence is only valuable when it is accurate and up to date. As competitors evolve their product offerings — launching new features, changing capabilities, or repositioning in the market — your battlecards need to keep pace. Playwise HQ makes it easy to edit any product on a competitor battlecard so your sales team always has the latest product-level intelligence.
Editing a product lets you update its name, description, strengths, and weaknesses directly within the battlecard edit form. Whether you are refining AI-generated product data with first-hand knowledge, correcting an error, or adding details discovered by your sales team, the process takes just a few clicks.
Key benefits
- Keep product intelligence current — Update product details as competitors evolve their offerings so your team is never working with stale information.
- Refine AI-generated data — Improve the accuracy of AI-generated product descriptions, strengths, and weaknesses with your own research and team knowledge.
- Correct errors quickly — Fix inaccurate product information as soon as it is identified.
- Maintain accurate product comparisons — Ensure your team has reliable product-level intelligence for head-to-head competitive conversations.
Only users with an Admin or Editor role can edit products on battlecards.
To reach the product editing form, you have two options:
- Admins can click the “Edit Battlecard” button on the battlecard view page header, then navigate to the Products step.
- Editors can click the “Add New Product” button on the Products tab, which also opens the edit form at the Products step where existing products can be edited.
Both paths lead to the same Products step on the Edit Competitor page.
Your account administrator controls which product fields are visible. The Product Name is always visible and always required. The Description, Strengths, and Weaknesses fields may be hidden depending on your account’s battlecard configuration.
If a field you expect to see is missing, contact your administrator. See How to Configure Battlecard Fields as an Admin for details.
Every time you save changes to a battlecard, Playwise HQ automatically creates a new version. This preserves a complete history of edits for your account’s records, including any product changes you make.
Follow these steps to edit an existing product on a competitor battlecard.
You can reach the Products step of the edit form in two ways:
For Admins:
- Log in to your Playwise HQ account and go to your Dashboard.
- Click on the competitor battlecard containing the product you want to edit.
- Click the “Edit Battlecard” button (with a pencil icon) in the top-right area of the page.
- On the Edit Competitor page, click the “Products” step label in the progress bar at the top of the form, or use the “Next” button to navigate to the Products step.
For Editors:
- Log in to your Playwise HQ account and go to your Dashboard.
- Click on the competitor battlecard containing the product you want to edit.
- Click the “Products” tab on the battlecard view page.
- Click the “Add New Product” button (with a plus icon) in the top-right area of the Products tab.
- You will be taken directly to the Products step on the Edit Competitor page.
On the Products step, all existing products are displayed as cards above the product form. Each product card shows:
- The product name as a heading
- The product description (if configured and populated)
- A list of strengths (if configured and populated)
- A list of weaknesses (if configured and populated)
Each product card has two icon buttons in the top-right corner:
- Pencil icon — Edit the product
- Red trash icon — Remove the product
- Click the pencil icon on the product card you want to edit.
- The product card will temporarily hide from the list above.
- The form below will change its heading from “Add Product” to “Edit Product”.
- The product’s existing data will be loaded into the form fields: Product Name, Description, Strengths, and Weaknesses.
Edit any of the product fields as needed:
- Product Name — Update the product name. Maximum 100 characters. The name must be unique within the battlecard (case-insensitive).
- Description (if configured) — Modify the product description using the rich text editor. Maximum 5,000 characters.
- Strengths (if configured) — Edit existing strength entries in place, add new ones by clicking “Add Strength” (with a plus icon), or remove entries by clicking the trash icon next to them. Each entry can be up to 500 characters.
- Weaknesses (if configured) — Edit existing weakness entries in place, add new ones by clicking “Add Weakness” (with a plus icon), or remove entries by clicking the trash icon next to them. Each entry can be up to 500 characters.
- Click “Save Changes” to apply your edits to the product. The product card will reappear in the list above with the updated information.
- Click “Cancel” to discard your edits and restore the original product data. The product card will reappear unchanged.
To persist your product edits to the server:
- On the Products step (the final step of the form), click the “Save Changes” button in the bottom-right corner to save the entire battlecard.
- Alternatively, click “Save & Exit” on any step to save all your changes and return to the battlecard view page.
- A green notification will confirm: “Competitor battlecard updated successfully” (Save Changes) or “Competitor battlecard saved successfully” (Save & Exit).
- You will be redirected to the battlecard view page where your product updates are immediately visible on the Products tab.
- A new version of the battlecard is created automatically.
If you need to remove a product from a battlecard entirely:
- On the Products step of the edit form, find the product card you want to remove.
- Click the red trash icon in the top-right corner of the card.
- The product is removed from the form immediately — there is no confirmation dialog.
- Save the battlecard (using “Save Changes” or “Save & Exit”) to persist the removal to the server.
