Import preview
Navigate the review grid, understand loading behavior, and use toolbar actions.
Import preview (opened via Review data on an import card) is where you inspect every row, fix validation issues, and prepare data for export or import.
Opening import preview
From the Imports list, click Review data on any import that has finished initial validation. The preview opens in a full-screen grid view.
Grid layout
The preview grid shows your data in a spreadsheet-like table:
- Row numbers appear in a pinned column on the left for easy reference.
- Columns reflect the fields you mapped during column matching.
- Cells with errors are highlighted so you can spot problems quickly.
- Cells with warnings use a distinct highlight to draw attention without blocking import.
Scrolling large files
Import Ready loads rows in blocks as you scroll, so even files with tens of thousands of rows remain responsive. When you first open preview, a loading state appears until the first block of data is ready.
As you scroll down, additional rows load automatically. A subtle loading indicator may appear while more rows are fetched.
Toolbar actions
At the top of the preview you will find:
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Back | Return to the imports list |
| View issues | Open the validation issues panel |
| Actions | Add lines, bulk edit, or delete lines |
| Download CSV | Export corrected data |
| Import now | Run the final import (when enabled) |
Search and columns
Below the toolbar, use the Search products field and Visible columns control to filter and customize what you see. See Search & columns for details.
Selection checkboxes
When you enter bulk edit or delete mode, checkboxes appear on each row. A select all control in the header lets you select every row in the import — including rows not yet loaded on screen.
Modes
The preview has three modes:
| Mode | When active | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Default | Full grid, inline editing enabled |
| Bulk edit | After choosing a column from Actions | Focused columns, selection checkboxes, bulk edit panel |
| Delete lines | After choosing Delete lines from Actions | Selection checkboxes, delete confirmation |
Only one special mode can be active at a time. Exit bulk edit or delete mode before starting another action.
Inline editing
In normal mode, click any editable cell to change its value. Changes are tracked locally until you save. See Edit rows for field-specific behavior.
When import is available
Import now is enabled when:
- All validation errors are resolved (error count is zero)
- You have saved any pending edits
- Your workspace has import enabled
Tip: Keep the View issues panel handy — it is the fastest way to jump to the next problem instead of scrolling manually.
