# Import problems

> If import preview looks wrong, fix the file, try the other importer, or rely on deterministic fallback when AI is off.

Imports **review then apply**. If the review is wrong, don't apply.

## Empty or nonsense cases

* Finance CSV, not a test matrix: use the right sheet tab
* Merged cells / two header rows: flatten like a normal table
* PDF of screenshots: weak; type cases or use a pack
* Word that is a contract, not a script: same

Try [Smart Matrix](/imports/excel) for clean Excel/CSV, [Smart Import](/imports/smart-import) for mixed Word/PDF.

## AI did something strange

`smart_import_ai` is optional. If AI is off or fails, the **deterministic fallback** should still parse structured files. Re-upload. You remain responsible for the review.

## Applied already

There is no undo for apply. Deprecate or delete bad cases. Re-import carefully: applying twice can duplicate. Clean up extras.

## Codebase JSON rejected

Wrong filename/shape. Must be `simpleuat-project-setup.json` from the prompt. Pro+. [Codebase](/setup/codebase).
