I’ve used the shortcode to show categories exclusively on their own pages (speed up load time) so I’d like to maintain the exact same categories upon import.

1. In the CSV, does the Category column require the slug for the category (eg. “automotive-rentals”) or the full name (eg. “Automotive Rentals”) in order to match the existing categories

2. Do I need to delete all the categories in Connections before importing (to avoid duplicate categories being created)? …or will it simply overwrite/maintain existing categories?

3. Do all fields need to be wrapped in single/double quotes? …or is simple comma separation okay.

Thanks in advance!

Hoping for a seamless import of several hundred entries.

1. The Category column needs the full name, not the slug.

2. No need to delete existing categories, if an existing category of the exact same name already exists, it will be used.

3. You can use either single or double quote as you can set that option before importing, though I recommend the usage of double quotes.

Hope that helps.
