Once the Upload Process is completed, a Notification message will be displayed informing the Admin that the content has been uploaded successfully.
Remember – At this stage the Prestashop Content is Uploaded but it not deleted from Prestashop.
Once the Content has been Uploaded, A third tab is visible on the Configuration Page Named “Enable/Disable Amazon S3”
When Admin clicks on Enable tab – The Content Uploaded is deleted from Prestashop end and gets stored on Amazon Server.
NOTE – In case Admin wants to Disable OR Uninstall the Module, it is necessary that the content is first downloaded from S3 Server.
On Upload/Download Content Tab – Admin gets an option to Download the Content from Amazon Server.
As soon as the Module is Enabled – A new tab gets added to the Manage Amazon S3 Page – “Update Image Link”
