# Imports

> Import point balances from a different system.

> Import functionality allows you to seed an existing community economy, migrate balances from another system, or
> bulk-load users before launching a campaign.

## Step 1 - Open the holders tab

Go to the **Points** tab, open a point system, and select the **Holders** tab. From there you can:

* Search holders by Discord user ID.
* Export the current holder list as CSV.
* Import balances from a CSV file or pasted CSV text.

## Step 2 - Initiate the import

Click the **Import** button, to open the import dialog.

</Frame>

Inside the import dialog, you can either:

* Upload a `.csv` file containing user balances.
* Paste CSV content directly into the import dialog.

Each CSV row must contain:

1. The user's **Discord ID**
2. The user's **balance**

Example:

```
328218133074804739,2137
144610383091466241,123.45
```

### How imports behave

Imports are additive, not destructive:

* If a user does not exist yet, they become a new holder.
* If a user already exists, the imported amount is **added on top** of the existing balance.
* Existing balances are **not overwritten** by import.

### Export before you import

If you are updating an existing point system, export holders first. That gives you a backup snapshot and a safe base
file to edit before importing new values.
