Import Chain of Custody report data

Upload a prepared template file to bulk update chain of custody values.

Bulk update Chain of Custody report data from a template file.

You can save the existing data fields as a template, fill the details, and then upload the file.

When to use this page

Use this action when many custody records need the same update workflow.

Use it only after you review the template and confirm the changes are correct.

Before you start

Confirm that:

• you prepared the correct template file
• the file contains only the records you want to update
• the values are reviewed before upload
• you are ready to verify the merge result after processing

Export the current filtered report before uploading. Keep that export as the pre-change reference.

Do not upload a template when its records or values are uncertain. Review the target rows first.
