Import and export¶

Contacts¶

Import

1. In Contacts, choose the destination address book (usually Personal Addresses).
2. Click Import.
3. Choose the file. vCard (.vcf) and CSV formats are accepted. The maximum size is shown in the window.
4. In Import group assignments, choose whether to keep the groups in the file.
5. Tick Replace the entire address book only if you want to delete the current contacts and keep only those in the file.
6. Click Import.

To bring contacts from another service, export them as vCard first: in Google Contacts, Export > vCard; in Outlook, save the contacts as .vcf or export to CSV.

Export

Click the arrow next to Export and choose to export all contacts or only the selected ones. A vCard file (.vcf) is downloaded, which you can import into another program or keep as a backup.

Calendars¶

1. In Calendar, click the pencil next to the calendar.
2. Open the Import / Export tab.
3. Use Import from file to load events from an iCalendar (.ics) file, or Export to file to download all the events in that calendar as .ics.

Exporting a calendar with many events may take a few moments.
