When updating a manual parts list, it is recommended that you export and review your existing parts list before you make changes. Once you have made changes, you can quickly update the manual list within Parts List Manager.
Keep in mind the following when updating a manual parts list:
- To view/edit this file, you will need a program that can edit CSV (comma-separated value) files. (Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, etc)
- Always use the Replace Parts option when reimporting your parts list.
To update a manual list:

button next to the My Manual List criteria.
- Click View My Manual List.
- Your browser will prompt you to Open or Save the file. (This message will look different depending on the browser that you use.) Click Open.
- The exported file will display. Delete the first two rows of the spreadsheet. (List Name and the column beneath.) Note: Delete the entire row (by highlighting) and not just the data in these rows.
