# Manual Import: Product Data

> Learn how to manually import product data to your NG search index.

> Coordinate with Professional Services to set up automatic imports (for example, nightly). Manual import is usually only needed outside the regular schedule.

## 1. Open the Import Page

![](/files/eIhp9oGZmpvgNrCK6TTG)

Click **Import** in the menu bar.

## 2. Choose a Channel

![](/files/QIsbPKobSSJEIzAy3dmp)

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

## 3. Select "Data"

![](/files/a6rseFOPqOA77S8oqwzj)

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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/docs/import/manual-import-product-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
