Import, export and merge contacts
1. Import, export and merge contacts
If you're switching to Google workspace from another system, you can import your contacts to populate your personal contacts list. First, you'll have to export your contacts from the system where they reside. Google Contacts supports two types of contact files-- comma separated values and VCard. After you export your contacts, Open Google Contacts and select import from the menu. If you wish, you can assign a label to the imported contacts at this time. Then, browse your computer for the contacts file and select Import. To manually add more than one contact at a time, select Create contact and choose create multiple contacts. Type the names, email addresses, or both names and email addresses separated by commas to create multiple contacts. To export contacts, select one or more contacts and then select export from the menu. Choose the format for the export by selecting from the options under export as Google CSV, Outlook CSV, or VCcard. Select export to download a file of the contacts. You can also choose to export starred contacts, frequently contacted or contacts from one of your labels. Google can identify and merge duplicate contacts. On the menu, Merge and fix will show the number of contacts that have duplicates. Select merge and fix to show the list of duplicates. Select merge all to combine all of the duplicates. To merge a single contact from the list, select merge between the suggestion cards to combine the information into one listing. You can also dismiss the suggestion to merge by selecting dismiss. You may need to merge contacts if you have just imported them from another system, or if your contact list has been migrated from another system as part of the Google workspace rollout.2.
