Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a way I can set the project type or add labels from the spreadsheet? A: No, Project types cannot be set via the .csv file at this time. Instead, you will have the opportunity to manually set the project after uploading the file during the import process. As of right now, project title, publish date, project idea, and copy can be set via bulk import .csv file.   Q: Is there a way to add tasks associated with projects? A: No, tasks cannot be added via the CSV file at this time. You can add tasks after your projects have been imported.   Q: I just imported a CSV file and noticed that it added a ton of projects that I don’t want - how do I delete them all at once? A: If you missed or dismissed the review prompt after importing and now have a lot of items on your calendar you didn’t intend to import, we may be able to help by deleting that full import.
