- **[Considerations for Prospect Imports](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.pardot_prospects_import_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Keep these considerations in mind when importing prospects to Account Engagement.
- **[Import Prospects](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.pardot_prospects_import.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To create or mass update prospects in Account Engagement, upload a CSV file with prospect data.
- **[Prospect Import Field Validation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.pardot_prospect_field_import_validation.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Validating prospect field values during import helps you keep your data clean and consistent. An Account Engagement admin can validate prospect default and custom fields that use predefined values. When a field is set to validate, a value updates on import only when it matches a predefined value.
- **[Prospect Import Errors](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.pardot_prospect_import_errors.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When your prospect import has errors, the import confirmation email includes a link to the import error CSV. Prospects with errors aren’t imported or updated, so use this report to fix errors and then reimport the prospects.
