Import files

Entering strings manually one by one is impractical. This page explains how to batch import spreadsheet files into a Kit's shared draft.

Entry points#

In the Table workflow panel at the top right of the Kit grid, or under step 1 "Prepare content", click Import data. First choose your source in Choose a data source.

Close

Data source selection. Local file is currently available; remaining sources are marked as coming soon.

Import workflow#

1. 1

   Select local file

   Click Local File, then click Choose a spreadsheet file to upload. Spreadsheet files are processed sheet by sheet.

2. 2

   Confirm import plan

   After uploading, preview the import plan: each sheet displays column role mappings (Key, Source, Translation, Custom column). Verify or adjust, then click Start import.

3. 3

   Write to shared draft

   Import results write to the active shared draft without generating a version directly. An import change report summarizes additions, updates, and conflicts.

Close

Select the spreadsheet file to import.

After importing#

• From the import report, you can create a Create delta from an import report or Create hotfix from an import report batch based on the modified scope to re-issue changed and new entries. See Create & issue jobs.
• If source text in the file conflicts with the draft, resolve it following report prompts; imports will not silently bypass conflicts requiring confirmation.
• To export the current draft, use Export the current draft in the grid toolbar or workflow panel for archiving or offline workflows.
