## Key Takeaways

💡 **Remember:** Import reports show exactly what worked and what didn't - check the status icon for issues

🧪 **Try:** Use CSV re-imports to update existing panel data - it merges new information without creating duplicates

⚠️ **Watch for:** Skipped rows due to validation errors - download the skip file, fix it, and re-import

⚡ **Quick tip:** Panel additions can take 10-15 minutes to appear after form submission - don't panic if they're not instant
