Export Tips
Import Frequency
To keep your financial data current, we recommend:
- Weekly import — for active budget managers
- Monthly import — for basic expense tracking
- Quarterly import — for long-term financial planning
Data Optimization
Before importing, consider:
- Check completeness — make sure the export covers all needed transactions
- Merge periods — if exporting several months, you can combine CSV files
- Keep backups — save your CSV files as a backup before importing

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Problem: CSV file won't import properly
- Solution: Check that the file was fully downloaded and isn't corrupted
Problem: Some transactions are missing
- Solution: Alior Bank limits exports to 3 months — run additional exports for older periods
Problem: Incorrect categorization of some expenses
- Solution: Change the category manually — Freenance will remember the rule for next time
Problem: Duplicate transactions after re-importing
- Solution: Freenance automatically detects duplicates based on date, amount, and description
