Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats are supported for export?
Leanshift supports CSV and JSON export formats. CSV files are compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and virtually any data analysis tool. JSON is ideal for developers and automated integrations.
Can I import data from Excel spreadsheets?
Yes. Save your Excel file as CSV, then use the import wizard in Leanshift. Download the import template first to ensure your columns match the expected format. The wizard will guide you through mapping and validation.
