# A rebuilt contact importer

### Improved

- Real importable counts, and CSV parsing that handles quoted commas properly.
- Column mapping is now honoured, including custom fields, which you can create as you go.
- Import rules: if a column matches something, add to a group or set a status.
- Suspicious addresses are flagged, with a skip option.
- Large imports run in the background with a live progress bar.
