# How do I import my data into Dronedesk?

Learn how to import your existing data into Dronedesk using CSV files, saving you time and getting your account set up faster.

If you're **migrating to Dronedesk** from another application or already have your data in spreadsheets, you can easily **import that data** into the system.

To get started, go to the **top right menu**, select **“Settings,”** and then click on **“Data Import.”**

Dronedesk supports imports for a wide range of data types, including:

-   Leads

The import process is straightforward:

1.  **Download the template file** for the type of data you want to import.
    
2.  Open the file each template includes an **example row** to help you get started.
