Also, the editing toolbar (like Edit, Zoom To, Position, Duplicate and Delete) appears for the inserted product on closing the catalog browser.

The user can insert as many products as they want until there is no more space in the room. When there is no space available, a popin is displayed in order to inform the user that there is no space available in the current room.
