Editing your Contacts in bulk via CSV

After exporting your Contacts list from DISCO, you have the option to edit them in bulk using a third-party spreadsheet program. You can then save the new file as a CSV and re-import it into your DISCO.

You can use any spreadsheet program for this. Below you will find instructions for a few of the most common ones: Google Sheets, Excel, and Apple Numbers.
