+
+The other file, python-retail/samples/interactive-tutorials/resources/products_some_invalid.json, contains both valid and invalid products. You will use it to check the error handling.
 
 ### Upload catalog data to Cloud Storage
 
-There is a JSON file with valid products prepared in the `product` directory:
-`product/resources/products.json`.
+In your own project you need to create a Cloud Storage bucket and put the JSON file there.
+The bucket name must be unique. For convenience, you can name it `<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>_<TIMESTAMP>`.
