</aside>

1. Click on the link to access Google Spreadsheets.

2. (If you do not have a CSV file, go to step 3.) If you have a CSV file, click File → Open → Upload → Choose file from device to upload the file as shown in the image below.

   

   

3. Enter the field name in the first row. Then, just enter the value corresponding to the field.

   <aside> Please be sure to specify the field in the first line, as the app will not recognize it if you do not.

   • The order of fields & case does not matter
   • Enter English alphabet letters only (e.g. W, M)
   • Optional items can be omitted other than the required items Word(W) & Meaning(M) </aside>

   <aside> For Multiple input items, comma(,) is used as a separator between input values by default, but other symbols can be used.
