# Use file export and import to update worksheets

If you need to make changes to a lot of items in worksheets 251, 261, 303, 304, 308, 330, 340, or 351 in Central Manager, you may find it easier to export the items to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, make the changes in the spreadsheet, and then import the spreadsheet back into Central Manager.

You must create a worksheet (saved to **Worksheets** | **Worksheets Status**) with a **Status** of **Not Yet Approved**.
{% endhint %}

### **Export worksheet items to a spreadsheet**

1. Open a worksheet that you created previously.
