Source Editor

Flatfile’s Source Editor allows you to edit your files within Flatfile prior to import.

While this is intended to allow for editing the schema (and not transforming values, which happens post-mapping), it is also possible to manually edit values from within this view.

How to use Source Editor

1. Upload your file

   Go to the Files section within your Flatfile project. Use the drag and drop feature to add your file or click Upload file.

2. Open the file

   Once your file is uploaded, find it in your Files list and click the file name to open it.

3. Make your edits

   You can manually make edits within cells or select the three dots in a column header to add, remove, rename, or clear columns.
