How to Connect to the Target Site

Overview of Import Options

List Bulk Import provides users with multiple methods to import data to SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013, or SharePoint Online (Office 365/SharePoint Online).

Before importing to a SharePoint site, you must connect to it. We call this site the target site. The initial connection is made when the application launches. Follow these steps to connect then.
