If you used the JoyaGoo Spreadsheet in 2025, you will notice substantial changes in the 2026 version. The spreadsheet is not just a refresh with new items. It is a structural upgrade with better organization, more accurate information, and improved tools for finding what you need. This guide compares the two versions in detail so you know exactly what changed and how it affects your buying process.
Catalog Size and Category Depth
The 2025 spreadsheet contained approximately 7,000 products across the main categories. The 2026 version has expanded to over 10,000 products, with the biggest growth in Shoes, Accessories, and the new Others category. The 11 main categories remain unchanged — Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear/Underpants, Jersey, Accessories, and Others — but the internal organization within categories has improved.
Shoes now has sub-groupings by silhouette type: runners, basketball, boots, and casual. Accessories is split into bags, belts, jewelry, and lifestyle. This sub-categorization makes it faster to find specific items without scrolling through long unfiltered lists. If you know you want a basketball sneaker, you can jump straight to the basketball sub-section instead of scrolling through all shoes.
Improved Filtering and Search
The 2025 spreadsheet relied on manual tab browsing and basic keyword search. The 2026 version introduces better column filtering within tabs. You can now filter by size availability, color, price range, and batch date within each category tab. This is a major time-saver for buyers who know what they want and need to narrow down options quickly.
The column structure is also cleaner. In 2025, column names were inconsistent between tabs. Some tabs used "Size" while others used "Sizing." Some tabs had "Material" while others had "Fabric." In 2026, the column names are standardized across all tabs, making it easier to compare items between categories.
Batch Tracking and Production Dates
Batch information was the biggest weakness of the 2025 spreadsheet. Many listings had no batch code, no production date, and no way to verify whether the item was from recent stock. The 2026 version addresses this with a dedicated batch column for most items. The batch column includes a batch code and sometimes a production date or restock date.
This matters because batch quality can vary. A batch from early 2025 might have different materials or construction than a batch from late 2025. In 2026, you can see the batch information at a glance and cross-reference it with community reviews. If a batch has negative feedback, you can avoid it. If a batch has positive feedback, you can prioritize it.
What Stayed the Same
Despite the upgrades, the core workflow remains unchanged. You still browse by category, cross-reference items, note the exact identifier, and place orders through the same platform. The relationship between the spreadsheet and the main catalog is also unchanged. The spreadsheet remains the index, and the main catalog remains the full browseable directory where you can explore items visually and place your final order.
The pricing structure also stayed similar. The 2026 spreadsheet does not have a universal price increase. Some categories went up slightly due to material costs, but others stayed the same or even decreased due to supplier competition. The spreadsheet reflects market conditions rather than a fixed markup.
Migration Tips for 2025 Users
If you have a saved list of items from the 2025 spreadsheet, you should verify each one against the 2026 version before reordering. Here is the recommended migration workflow:
- Check if the item still exists in the 2026 spreadsheet. Some items were discontinued.
- If the item exists, check if the batch code changed. A new batch may mean different sizing or materials.
- Compare the price. If the price changed significantly, research why before ordering.
- Check the category gateway on this site for any updated sizing or QC notes for that product type.
- Cross-reference the item on community forums to see if 2026 buyers have shared feedback.
Should New Buyers Start with 2026?
Absolutely. If you are new to the spreadsheet, the 2026 version is the best entry point. The improved filtering, cleaner columns, and batch tracking make it easier to learn the system. The category gateways on this site are also updated to reflect 2026 standards and QC expectations. Start with the 2026 spreadsheet, use the category guides for research, and browse the full catalog on the main site with confidence.
