Import History
Every CSV and Excel import ever run for the business — with the original file, the row counts, and a way to undo one.
Navigate to: Files → Import history (the URL is /files/imports)
"Every file ever imported is preserved here. Download to re-import or audit." This tab is the record of what was brought into the business from a spreadsheet — not the files you uploaded, which live on the Files tab.
Columns
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Date | When the import was run. |
| Type | What was imported — Customers, Vendors, Items, Journals, Chart of Accounts, Bank Statement, Opening Balance, and the rest. |
| File | The original filename, as submitted. |
| Rows | How many rows the run carried. |
| Size | The size of the source file. |
| Status | success, partial or failed. |
| Scan | The scan status recorded against the file. Where scanning is not configured it reads Not scanned. |
| Action | View errors, Reverse, Download and Delete — each shown when it applies. |
Filter the list to one import type from the dropdown in the header. The pager is Previous / Next, 50 imports a page.
The row actions
| Action | When it appears | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| View errors | The run had rows that failed | Opens the reason each row was rejected — the answer to "why is this partial?" |
| Reverse | The batch committed rows that can still be undone | Undoes what that import created. Reverse the import rather than deleting records one by one. |
| Download | Always, unless the file was quarantined | Saves the original spreadsheet — to correct and re-import, or to hand to an auditor. |
| Delete | Always, unless the file is under legal hold | Permanently deletes the stored source file after a confirmation. It does not undo the import — use Reverse for that. |
Delete removes the spreadsheet from storage; the records it created stay in your books. Reverse undoes the records; the spreadsheet stays. Deleting a source file cannot be undone, and a file under legal hold cannot be deleted at all.
Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| success | Every row was accepted. |
| partial | Some rows were accepted and some were not. View errors lists which, and why. |
| failed | Nothing was accepted. The file is still here to correct and re-import. |
The source files kept here are part of the business's total storage, alongside uploads and document attachments. A long history of large spreadsheets is worth a look if uploads start being refused.
