Select a channel from the dropdown menu, or choose **All channels**.

## 3. Select "Data"

From the dropdown menu, select **Data** and check **Product import from source file**. If a download URL is configured and you want to fetch fresh data as part of this import, also check **Download product data**.

Note: The **Product import from source file** checkbox only controls the central product data CSV. If the Geo or CSI module is enabled, a complete import from all CSV files may also be necessary, including **Price import from source file** and/or **Geo import from source file**. Enable the corresponding checkboxes if required.

## 4. Start the Import

FactFinder collects the data based on the channel configuration and re-imports it.

Click **START IMPORT**.

If you also want to update Suggest, select **Suggest** after the product import finishes and click **START IMPORT** again.
