    Greetings! Connections is proving useful so far! Imported over 400 businesses from a CSV file. I accidentally mapped Work Zip Code to School Zip Code (as you can see on the link to the page). Is there a way to correct that? Thank you!

    I just bulk deleted all the entries, deleted unnecessary columns from the CSV file, and renamed the good columns to match the Import CSV names. Ran the import, and all is well. If there was an easier way, please let us know. I’m still feeling my way around!

    This is likely the best method. You did not mention how you deleted all the entries … there is a purge tool that can be helpful. Here’s the link:

    I hope this helps, please let me know.

    Thanks, Steve. I did the old “select the column of checkboxes and bulk delete” method. It took a couple minutes but did the job. The tools method looks easier. I hope I won’t have to do this again, but I’ll use that method next time. I also learned that importing the same data again doesn’t override the previous identical data; it just duplicates the entries. Lesson learned!
