Frequently asked questions

What does the CSV validator check?+

Header problems (blank, duplicate, hidden characters), exact duplicate rows, leading/trailing spaces and invisible characters, plus format checks on columns that look like emails, URLs, numbers or phone numbers.

Does it check against a specific system?+

Pick Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce or Google Ads to also check required columns for that import. SheetFix doesn't connect to those systems.

Does it change my file?+

Only if you apply a fix. Every fix shows before/after and can be undone.

Can I share the results?+

Yes, download the issue report as CSV.

Is it free and private?+

Yes. The check runs in your browser and the file isn't uploaded.
