You can export punch items to an Excel file where you can edit them and create new ones. Then you can import the file, which can only be used once, back into ProjectSight. If there are any errors, you can review and fix them in a new Excel file.
- Record permissions, field permissions, and workflow status permissions are checked when you export punch items to an Excel file and when you import the file into ProjectSight.
- In the Excel file, required fields are light red, and read-only fields are light blue.
- To avoid an import error, make sure you enter information in the Resolution field if the Date Resolved and Resolved By fields contain information.

When you import the Excel file back into ProjectSight:

- Blank rows and fields are ignored.
- If a non-draft workflow status is selected, and a required field is invalid or empty, the new record remains a draft.
