# How to add a Feature in PrestaShop 1.5

You will want to create Features for your products in your PrestaShop 1.5 store. Features are not options, but standard specifications. They will be listed in the Data Sheet section for your product. Common features include things such as height and weight. Others will depend on the type of product. TVs, for example, may include screen size, depth, height, weight and resolution. These are selected for each product from the master Features list.

**To add features to your list in PrestaShop 1.5:**

1. [Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/)
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Catalog **tab and select **Features **from the menu.[![catalog-tab-features](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_catalog-tab-features.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_catalog-tab-features.png)
3. You will now be on the **Catalog : Features** page. From here you will click on the green **Add New Feature** button in the upper right hand corner.[![features-add](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_features-add.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_features-add.png)
4. On the **Add a new feature** page, you will add the name of your new feature. In this example, we add ‘CD Version’ in the **Title** field for books that include a digital version on CD. Once completed, click the green **Save **button in the upper right hand corner.[![feature-add-save](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_feature-add-save.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/edu_prestashop1.5_add-feature_feature-add-save.png)
