  4. Return to the 'Upload users' page again. This time, upload your completed template.

  5. The only setting you will need to change on this screen is the 'Preview rows'. Increase them to allow you to preview everyone on your sheet. If that is 101 users, you'll need to select 1000 preview rows.



  6. The LMS will upload your spread sheet but not create or amend user accounts yet. From need preview screen, scroll to to bottom of your preview rows and move the scroll bar to the far right to show the Status column.
    If there is no text in the Status column, this shows the system will create a new account.
    If there is 'Duplicate address' in the Status column, this shows there is already a user account under that email address / username so an second will not be created.
