Additional tips:

• You can also add attributes to a specific product type (e.g., simple product, configurable product, etc.) by going to Catalog > Product Types > Manage Product Types and then clicking on the Edit button for the product type.
• You can also use the Magento Attribute Manager extension to manage attributes more easily.
• If you need to add a custom attribute to a specific module (e.g., a custom module), you may need to create a custom attribute set and attribute in the module's configuration file (e.g., etc/config.xml).
