1. In the App Launcher, find and select **Catalogs**.
2. Select a catalog.
3. On the Categories tab, click **Import**.
4. Click **Upload Files**. You can optionally download a sample data import file to use as a starting point for creating your file.
5. Click **Import**. Because the import is asynchronous, you can perform other tasks while the import processes. To get the status of the import, refresh the page or click the refresh button. The Import Summary report shows the import results, including any errors caused by rows or column headings. If you have errors, fix the file, and import it again.
