Import & Export Your Data

Bring your existing records into BeeKeepPal from a spreadsheet, and export your data whenever you need it. Your data is always yours.

To import from a spreadsheet

1. In the Sidebar Menu, click Import & Export.
2. Choose what you are importing, for example apiaries, beehives or inspections.
3. Download the template for that record type and copy your data into it. Keep the column headings as they are.
4. Save the file as CSV or Excel (.xlsx).
5. Click Import and choose your file.
6. Check the preview. Rows with problems are highlighted with the reason.
7. Click Confirm Import.

Import apiaries before beehives, and beehives before inspections, so each record has something to attach to.

To export your data

1. In the Sidebar Menu, click Import & Export.
2. Choose what to export, or select everything.
3. Choose a format and click Export. The file downloads to your device.

Exports are useful for backups, for sharing records with an apiary inspector, or for your own analysis in a spreadsheet.
