# Self-Service Catalog Management

You can self serve directly on the ESP to review issues with your catalog data. The ESP will indicate how many invalid products and defaulted products needs your attention in real time. You can then make the required updates to your catalog without needing any Trade Compliance resource to do so.

You can upload catalogs via an API request or SFTP flat file upload (csv or xlsx formats). The data is then validated for data completeness and quality before being classification rated and written to the database, where it will be available for use by consumers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.esw.com/customs-catalog-api/resources/self-service-catalog-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
