Remove empty and explanatory rows from import files

Spreadsheet exports can include blank rows, notes, or repeated headings. Those rows can become incomplete listings if they are not removed.

Directoryz editorial guide · Updated September 7, 2026

Put it into practice

Separate data from commentary before export. Keep one header row and inspect the beginning and end of the file.

Worked example · illustrative

What this looks like

A note reading Updated by sales team belongs in documentation, not in a row that could become a listing title.

Before you move on

Does every remaining row represent one intended listing?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Keep an untouched source copy.
  2. Test changes on a small sample.
  3. Compare imported records with the original data.

Your working notes

Apply this guide to one real project. Notes stay in this page until you download them; they are not saved to your account.

Where Directoryz fits

Directoryz supports directory publishing, listings and custom fields, CSV imports, submission review, and workspace operations. These guides include editorial workflows you can carry out with a worksheet or your own tools. They do not imply that every audit, reminder, verification, or integration is automated by Directoryz.
