  2. Click the + (add content) icon in the top-right of the toolbar
  3. Select “Bulk import”
  4. Choose your prepared CSV file and click Import CSV

Fixing an incorrect import

If you import the wrong file or notice errors, you can manually remove the imported events.

  1. In your calendar, open the Filter menu.
  2. Select the Last bulk import filter. This will show only the events from your most recent upload.
  3. Select all the visible events and delete them.

File requirements

Required columns

Your CSV file must include these 2 column headers:

  • Title – The title or name of each event (required, cannot be empty)
  • From – The start date or date-time of each event (required, cannot be empty).

Optional columns

You can also include any of these optional columns: To, Swimlane, Group, Tag, Link, and Note.

Any columns that don’t match the header names above will be ignored.

All column headers need to be on the first line of the file but can be in any order.

Rows that start with a # will be ignored, which can be useful for leaving comments in your file.
