Import CSV
Import a prepared title list from a CSV or plain-text file into the queue.
Updated
Import CSV is for quickly adding larger prepared title lists. QueueWrite reads the file and adds the imported titles to the normal queue. Once queued, those jobs behave like articles added through Paste Titles.
Supported file formats
- CSV files (.csv) — comma-separated, with quoted fields supported
- Plain-text files (.txt) — one title per line
Simplest CSV format
Use a title column:
- title
- Can Head Lice Live on Pillows and Bedding?
- How Often Should You Check Your Child for Head Lice?
- Head Lice vs Dandruff: How to Tell the Difference
QueueWrite also recognises these header names (case-insensitive): title, article title, topic, url, and source url. If none of those headers are present, it uses the first column.
Empty rows and duplicates
- Completely empty rows are ignored
- Empty title cells are skipped
- Duplicate titles are ignored case-insensitively
Pasting into the Import CSV field
If you paste into the Import CSV text area rather than choosing a .csv file, enter one title per line. Column-aware CSV parsing applies when you import a .csv file.
