  3. 3

    What's removed and what stays

    The gifts, pledges and people it created are removed. People who had new gifts or changes since are kept. Details it filled in on people who were already here stay.

  4. 4

    Import again

    Fix the file or the columns and import again. The past import shows as “undone”.

    Import the corrected file.

Tips

  • Undo soon after importing, before staff start recording gifts on imported people.

If something isn't working

Some imported people are still there after undo.

They had new gifts or changes after the import, so they were kept on purpose. Remove them by hand if they shouldn't be there.
