A lot of sites are kept up to date from a spreadsheet someone else sends: a supplier's price list, a listings export, the programme for the next theatre season, a client's spreadsheet. The first import is easy and there are plenty options out there to facilitate that. Following updates are the problem, when the same file comes back with some rows changed, a few new ones and a few missing. How do you go about that? The options I know are all a bit uncomfortable. Re-import everything and hope nothing gets overwritten. Compare the two files by eye. Edit the items one by one in the admin.
How do you handle it? Do you have a routine that works, or do you just brace yourself and click import?
