# Import a record from the template

After updating the import template with new data, import the template to your instance.

## Before you begin

2.  Perform the appropriate action for the list version.

    |Action|Version|

3.  From Insert or update, select the import type.

4.  From File, select the import template to import.

5.  Click **Upload and Preview Import Data**.

    ServiceNow validates the template.

    If the template passes validation and the imported preview matches your expectations, click **Complete Import** to import records into the current table. If the template fails validation, review the errors. Click **Ignore Errors and Complete Import** to continue the import by skipping any bad data cells.
