Review import jobs

Every import run is saved as a job so you can check results, fix problems, and rerun it.

What this is for

Confirm how many rows succeeded or failed, see the specific error for each failed row, and rerun or remove a job.

Who uses it

Owners and office admins with import/export permission.

Steps

  1. Open Import & Export and click Import jobs.
  2. Filter by import type, status, or date range if you're looking for a specific job.
  3. Click a job's file name to open its detail page.
  4. Review the row counts and the error for each failed row.
  5. Click Download original to get back the exact file you uploaded.
  6. Click Rerun to run the same file again, for example after fixing the source data and re-uploading a corrected template, or Delete to move the job to Deleted Items.

Important notes

Deleting an import job moves it to Deleted Items; it does not undo the records the job already created or updated. The originally uploaded workbook is retained even after the job is deleted, as long as it was stored.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a deleted import job reverses the records it created.
  • Not checking row errors before assuming an import fully succeeded.
  • Re-uploading the same unfixed file after a failed import instead of correcting the errors first.
