Import CSV data into the Framer CMS
Learn how to import CSV data into the Framer CMS. Bring content from any source and add it to your site in Framer. You will work with CMS fields, collection items, or collection lists while keeping the content editable in Framer.
Lesson details
Prepare the CSV with one header per CMS field, stable values for the slug or identifier, and consistent date, number, image, and reference formats. Import it into the matching collection and review the field mapping before Framer creates or updates items.
Test with a small sample when the file contains complex fields. After import, check duplicate slugs, missing images, rich text, references, and a representative CMS page before bringing in the full dataset.
Check the rendered list or detail page as well as the CMS table. A correct field value can still wrap, crop, or disappear when its binding meets the final layout.

What does this lesson cover?
The lesson covers the settings and steps used to import CSV data into the Framer CMS. See CSV Import. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.
Does this workflow keep CMS content editable?
Yes. The workflow uses Framer CMS fields, items, references, or collection lists rather than flattening the content into a static page. Review the field mapping and each affected item after the change so editors can keep managing the content from the CMS.
Will CMS changes update collection pages?
CMS-backed collection lists and detail pages use the values stored in their connected fields. A field or item change can therefore appear wherever that content is bound. Review the list page, detail page, references, filters, and empty states after completing the workflow.
What should I review after I import CSV data into the Framer CMS?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
