# Import assets from CSV

> Bulk import assets from a spreadsheet by uploading a CSV file and mapping its columns to asset fields.

Bulk import assets from a spreadsheet instead of creating them one at a time. The importer walks you through uploading a file and mapping its columns to asset fields, then creates the assets in the background.

## Constraints and gotchas

* Import is create-only and has no upsert. Re-importing creates duplicates.
* Columns only map to field definitions that already exist. New asset types in the file are created without new fields.
* Types in the file are linked to the workspace the import ran from.
* There is no public import API. Use the Import button in the workspace Assets tab.
* Each imported row fires Asset Created.
