# Data import (.csv)

## Overview

Data can be imported from Google Sheets or CSV files. This functionality allows you to operate with existing datasets, making them available for use in variables and expressions after import.

To import data, add a new tab in **Variables & Data**

## CSV from link (Google Sheet)

Data from a Google Sheet can be imported into Vectary, and any changes made to the Google Sheet will be automatically updated in real-time in Vectary. To begin this process, simply copy the link:

**File** ➞ **Share** ➞ **Publish to web** ➞ **Comma-separated values (.csv)** ➞ *copy link*

{% embed url="<https://screen.studio/share/mYKHxzwZ>" %}

Then paste this link into Vectary:

**Variables & Data** ➞ *create a new tab* ➞ **СSV from link** ➞ sync button 🔄

{% embed url="<https://screen.studio/share/eeeOBKQH>" %}

Right-clicking on the tab opens a context menu with actions:<br>

* Change link
* Refresh (sync data)
* Rename tab
* Delete tab

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/3d-configurator/variables-and-expressions/data-import-.csv.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
