📁 Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure that:
-
You have on your computer a folder containing all the logos, images, and documents to be imported.
-
The file name of each image matches exactly what you’ll enter in your Excel file.
💡 You can import documents or images (for participants, speakers, companies, etc.).
In this example, we’ll import a partner logo.
Step 1 – Export Existing Data
-
Go to the inwink back office, in the partners grid.
-
Export the following three columns:
-
Partner ID
-
Partner Name
-
Logo

Step 2 – Prepare the Excel File

In the Logo column, enter the exact name of the image file as it is stored on your computer, including the file extension (e.g.,
