A product's family sits beside its category, and a missing family is proposed from similar products.

## What changed

- On the [Catalogue](../product/products), a product's attributes drawer shows its [family](../product/families) beside its category; the family decides which attributes the product must have, so the drawer says what is missing, and a product with no family says what that means for its completeness rather than showing a blank.
- A product with no family gets a proposal from similar products, with its confidence in plain words from [the families and attributes engine](../engines/families-and-attributes); nothing changes until you accept, and when no proposal can be made the drawer says why: the product is too different, its neighbours are unclassified, or it has no image yet.
