### Preparing Your CSV File
When preparing your file for upload, make sure it includes the required fields:
* **Title** – The title of the post idea (mandatory).
* **Audience** – Choose from the same audience options available for regular posts (Everyone, Teams, User Criteria, or Specific Users).
Optional fields you can include:
* **Description** – Add supporting details for the idea.
* **Planned Publish Date** – If provided, the idea will appear in the Planning Calendar. If not, it will go into the **Unplanned list**.
{% hint style="danger" %}
* The title should be under 200 characters, and the description should not exceed 1000 characters.
* Enter “Everyone” as the audience for **company-wide posts**, or a comma-separated list of team names for team-specific posts.
* Planned publish date **must be** in MM/DD/YYYY format (e.g., 08/15/2025).
* Planned publish time **must be** in HH:MM AM/PM format (e.g., 10:30 AM or 03:45 PM) and will be interpreted based on user’s time zone.
{% endhint %}
