# Importing posts into FeatureOS

_By Swathy · Aug 9, 2023_

If you're seeking to bring posts from an external source into FeatureOS, we're here to assist you with a dedicated feature for this purpose. The CSV format is widely used for data migration, and [FeatureOS offers a downloadable template](https://vault.featureos.app/templates/feature_requests_import.csv) that can be customized with your data before being imported.

```
Option to import posts is available only on paid plans.
```

2.  Navigate to the **Boards** option located in the sidebar.
    
3.  Choose the specific board to which you intend to import posts.
    
4.  Toggle to the **Settings** section within the board settings.
