Viewing and deleting recently imported records

This article is part of the Insightly Importing Guide

If a major mistake happens during an import to Insightly, you can delete the newly imported records, correct your data in your original file, and re-import it.

You will only be able to view and delete newly added records. If your import also updated existing records, you cannot review or undo changes made by the import.

Viewing imported records

For most records, Insightly will display links to your four most recent imports in the sidebar to the right of the list view.

To view your recently added notes, you'll need to go to the Home tab and select Activity Type > Notes, and Filter By User > Me.

To delete notes, you'll have to select them one by one and click the Actions menu to delete them one at a time.
