For example, an attribute set named <strong>Clothing<\/strong> on your Source Store may appear as <strong>src_Clothing<\/strong> after migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If needed, you can remove or change the prefix in Magento Admin by going to <strong>Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set<\/strong> and editing the migrated attribute set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1686\" height=\"849\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot.png\" alt=\"attribute set in yout Admin Panel\" class=\"wp-image-4548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot.png 1686w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/faq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot-1024x516.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1686px) 100vw, 1686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, you can either leave out the &#8220;src_&#8221; prefix or change it into any name you want.
