Upload a General Import File

Upload a mixed statement, PDF, CSV or screenshot when the exact import type is unclear.

Current Capitelist screen for Upload a General Import File.

Before you start

Prepare the source material before starting. Imports and share links are useful only when scope, recipient and source quality are clear.

The file, screenshot or recipient scope is ready.
Private data has been redacted where possible.
You are ready to review results before committing or sharing.

Detailed steps

01

Open AI Import from Assets or the import panel

Start from the screen named in the step and confirm the portfolio in the top bar before you change anything. If the wrong portfolio is selected, switch portfolios first.

02

Choose the general import context

Pick the option that matches the real-world record you are adding or reviewing. If two options look similar, use the one that matches the source document, not the one that makes totals look cleaner.

03

Upload the file and wait for extraction to complete

Use the clearest source available and review the extracted result before it becomes official portfolio data. Do not import rows you cannot verify.

04

Review the preview before committing any rows

Compare the screen against your source before relying on the result. Check name, value, currency, date, ownership, liquidity and whether private data should stay hidden.

Field guide

Source

The file, statement, screenshot or link scope.

Use the most complete and recent source available.
Confidence

How reliable the extracted or shared information is.

Low confidence requires manual review.
Scope

What sections are imported, committed or shared.

Avoid accidental disclosure or duplicate records.
Expiry

How long access or source relevance lasts.

Use short windows for external review links.

Decision rules

What it adds

  • Handles mixed source material during onboarding.
  • Creates editable extracted rows without immediately changing the portfolio.

What it does not do

  • Ambiguous files can produce incomplete or low-confidence rows.
  • Import is not a substitute for user review.

Common mistakes

What to check

  • Avoid uploading files with hidden secrets or unrelated private data.
  • Split very different documents into separate imports when possible.

Entering a clean-looking value without recording where it came from.

Ignoring currency, ownership percentage or valuation date because the total appears reasonable.

Using ordinary notes for private access information.

Assuming Upload a General Import File produces advice, verification or execution beyond the workflow described here.

After you save

  • Return to Net Worth and confirm totals changed as expected.
  • Open Capital Review to see whether the record created, resolved or changed any review item.
  • Check whether the record should affect Forecast, Investment Plan, exports or share links.
  • Revisit this connectivity guide when source evidence changes.
