ScoutX can display details for variations of an item without you ever having to leave its Product Detail page on Amazon!
How to View Variations
If you are viewing the Product Detail page for an item that has variations, a Variations button will be displayed as a Research Shortcut. A Variations tab will also be displayed in the lower area of the screen.
Clicking either option will display a list showing information and reviews for each of the variations currently in the Amazon.com catalog for the ASIN.
Variations Window
You can see reviews and information for each item variation in the Variations Review window.
Variations Reviews
The Variation Reviews section shows information on Amazon Verified Purchase reviews. The date the reviews first became available will be displayed as shown in the example image below.
Reviews are displayed in separate lists by displayed by variation type (i.e. Size, Color, etc) and will show the number of reviews for each variation and percentage they make up out of the total number of reviews for all variations.
If there are many variations for an item, you may need to scroll down to see the details for all of them.
You can hide or show the Variation Reviews section of the window by clicking the arrow next to it.
