Formatting Guidelines
Trim leading and trailing spaces from the entire sheet. If available, we recommend using the Excel add-in Ablebits to do this.
Column header names must follow the exact same naming scheme as provided or the import upload will fail.
Blank rows are considered empty and skipped by the importer.
It is possible to successfully upload 0 rows of information, as long as all required columns are present, the importer will still “succeed”.
Overwrites will be performed on any data that has been changed between exporting/importing.
Note: If one field is filled out in an address, then all fields become required.
