Purpose
Every CSV import (teachers, students, student assignments, staff) creates a batch record. Import history is the per-batch ledger — who ran the import, when, what file, how many rows created vs. updated, and the per-row outcome.
What a batch row shows
- Type — teacher / student / student assignment / staff.
- Run by — the admin who confirmed the import.
- Timestamp.
- File name — the original CSV filename.
- Counts — new rows created, existing rows updated, rows skipped (errors).
- Status — Success, Partial, Failed.
- Detail — expandable per-row outcomes.
[SCREENSHOT: admin-imports-history-list] Administration → Imports → History with three batches listed (two Success, one Partial) and the Partial row expanded showing per-row outcomes.
Step-by-step
Review a batch
- Administration → Imports → History.
- Click a batch row.
- Read the per-row outcomes. Filter by Errors to see only the failures.
Re-run with corrections
- Download the original CSV from the batch (the link sits next to the file name).
- Correct the errored rows in your spreadsheet.
- Re-upload from the relevant import page. Re-runs are idempotent: existing rows update, not duplicate.
Pagination
History shows newest-first with pagination controls at the bottom. Use Previous and Next to navigate; the "Showing X of Y" indicator tracks your position.
Tips & best practices
- After a large import, scan the Partial batches first — that's where the data quality issues live.
- Save a copy of the corrected CSV in your district drive alongside the batch ID for audit purposes.
Common mistakes
- Treating an "Updated" count as a problem — re-imports normally update existing rows, that's the point.
- Re-running a failed import without correcting the file — the same rows fail the same way.

FAQ
Can I revert an import? There is no one-click revert. For accidental imports, contact support@amplifyed.app with the batch ID — they can scope a targeted rollback.
How long is import history kept? Indefinitely — it's part of the audit log.
