Importing Contacts from Google / Outlook

Importing

Import the .csv file by clicking on Tools -> Age Updater -> Import contacts from .csv.

First you need to select the deck for the new cards to be imported into.

If you already have some notes of the "Age Updater Note" type, then the deck that has the most of them will automatically be selected and it's name will be displayed next to the "Select deck" button. You may continue with this deck or choose another one.

After you have selected the deck, click on "Select .csv file" and select your .csv file.

Your contacts will be imported and a list of the contacts that have been imported will show.
