Use the Edit mode to correct errors in an import file

You can correct errors by modifying the import file. A special function is available for this.

You can switch to the Edit mode in one of two ways: Via the Open error report action at the start of the import wizard or at the end of the import wizard for the import in which the errors were found.

  4. Click on Check in the final step.
