Import CSV Dialog

The Import CSV allows you to import a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file that has been exported by Storyboard Pro. It will take the content of the caption fields for each of your panels from the CSV file and transfer it to their respective caption fields in your project.

This allows you to export your project's captions into a CSV file, edit your captions in a spreadsheet editor, then import the updated captions into your project.

IMPORTANT

In order to be able to import a CSV file using this dialog, the CSV file must have been exported by Storyboard Pro using the Export CSV dialog box, and must include the following items:

  • Column Names
  • Sequence Names (if your project contains sequences)
  • Scene Names
  • Panel Names
  • Captions

Additionally, if the captions were not exported with the Include Rich Text Formatting option, their text formatting will be discarded when you import the CSV file.

For more information, see Export CSV Dialog.
