# Importing data

Importing your historical data from another Zigpoll survey allows you to take advantage of Zigpoll's analysis tools and ensure you have all your data in one place.

This requires you to export your Zigpoll responses from your old survey and then ensuring it is properly formatted in the CSV.

#### Exporting your historical response data from Zigpoll

You can find the export functionality in the sidebar under Settings -> General -> Download Export File

#### Preparing your data for import

[Click here](https://www.zigpoll.com/sample_zigpoll_import.csv) to download a sample CSV file.

The columns headers are as follows:

1. Slide ID. You can get the ID for your slide by going to Apps -> Zigpoll -> Surveys -> Select your survey -> Slides -> Select your slide -> Click the dashboard tab.
2. shopify\_customer\_id -> A special header for Shopify customer ids, you can ignore if you don't have them.
3. shopify\_order\_id -> A special header for Shopify customer ids, you can ignore if you don't have them.
4. order\_value -> The value of a particular order. This can be ignored if it's not related to a transaction.

Any additional metadata not listed above will be included as metadata for the survey response.
