# Importing Data via Copy & Paste

+MetaLocator supports importing data via copy and paste.

The pasted data should follow the same format as any other data import and should include column headings. (See a [sample spreadsheet](https://admin.metalocator.com/components/com_locator/assets/documents/starter_import.csv)).

Watch this video for an example:

To import data via Copy & Paste,

* Click Data (or Locations) on the main navigation.
* Click **Import**
* Click **Copy/Paste** under Choose Data Source
* Select the data in your source spreadsheet, Google Sheet or text file and choose Copy
* Click inside the text input, right click the mouse and choose Paste (or press CTRL+V (Windows) Command+V (Mac)

The process from here is common to any other data source in MetaLocator. [Those steps are described here.](https://support.metalocator.com/en/articles/1655854-introduction-to-importing-data)
