# How to use Import

## What is Import?

Import allows you to import data into the system by mapping data from the columns of an Excel spreadsheet to data fields on [products, variants](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md), variant groups, [categories](/fundamental-concepts/data-model.md) or [global lists](broken://pages/33UGJbwodzi2bP6o2PZJ).

Knowing how to use the import feature will allow you to quickly update and create new [products, variants](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md), variant groups, [categories](/fundamental-concepts/data-model.md) and [global lists](broken://pages/33UGJbwodzi2bP6o2PZJ) or efficiently import data into list properties.

You can find the import tab in the Struct PIM sidebar under Import.
