5. After uploading the CSV file, you'll be asked to define the CSV delimiter and Select a column for document names. The CSV parser analyzes your file's header row and offers two ways to handle document keys:

  • Autogenerated – Stape Store automatically assigns a random, unique identifier to each imported row.
  • Custom column – you can map a specific column from your CSV file to serve as the document key. In this case, the values in that column become the unique identifiers for the corresponding documents.

Important:

  • If you select a custom CSV column for your document keys, ensure the values in that column are unique. If multiple rows share the same key value, they will overwrite each other during the import process.
  • If you have several columns with the same name, only the last one will be used.

6. Click Add collection.

Filled out Start collection pop-up

You'll get a fully populated collection.
