Importing items

If you already have a list of your collection in a spreadsheet (like Excel or Google Sheets), you can import it into Owlect instead of typing each item one by one.

How to import from CSV

CSV is a simple file format that most spreadsheet apps can export to.

1Open your collection

2Go to the Import page

3Upload your CSV file

4Owlect reads your file and shows a preview

5Match your columns to the right fields (Owlect tries to do this automatically)

6Tap "Import"

Owlect understands files separated by commas, tabs, or semicolons — you do not need to worry about the format.

When to use import vs. adding one by one

Import is great when you already have a big list or are migrating from another app

Adding one by one is better for keeping your collection up to date as you get new items — see Auto-fill from Catalogs for how Owlect helps fill in details automatically
