   - **Map Properties** to map CSV columns
   - **Test Case Preview** to validate mapped data

4. Atto automatically maps CSV columns to the corresponding fields in Test Management by Testsigma.

5. Review the mapped fields. If any fields are missing or incorrectly mapped, update them manually.

6. Verify the mapped data in the **Test Case Preview** section.

7. Click **Begin Import** to start importing the test cases.

8. The system creates an import log in the **Imports** section to track progress and results.

2. The **Import Results** page displays a summary of the import, including:
   ![Import Results](https://s3.amazonaws.com/website-static-docs.testsigma.com/new_images/projects/Updated_Doc_Images/Import_Test_Cases_Results.png)
   - **Total Test Cases**
   - **Imported Test Cases**
   - **Skipped Test Cases**
   - **Failed Test Cases**

3. Review the **Failed to Import** section to identify test cases that were not imported.
   - Check the **Error Type and Reason** columns to understand the issue (for example, duplicate test case titles).

4. Review the **Skipped** section to see test cases that were ignored during import.
   - Reasons may include existing test cases in the project.

5. Review the **Imported Test Cases** section to verify successfully imported test cases along with their details.

6. Use this information to fix issues in your CSV file, if required, and re-import the test cases.
