Semicolon (`;`), comma (`,`), tab (`\t`) and pipe (`|`). Choose **Auto (recommended)** to let the plugin detect the delimiter automatically by sampling the first 4 KB of the file. ### What happens if a product is not found? The row is counted as **ignored** and listed in the post-import failure report with the lookup key and reason. No data is modified for that row. ### Can I undo an import? Yes. The plugin saves a snapshot of the original field values before each import. Click **Undo last import** in the Security & Rollback panel to restore all affected products to their previous state in one click. The backup covers up to 5 000 products per run. ### Does it work without Yoast SEO? Yes. The SEO Title and Meta Description columns are simply ignored if Yoast SEO is not active. No error is thrown. ### Is WooCommerce required? Yes. The plugin checks for WooCommerce at activation and on every admin page load. A warning notice is displayed if WooCommerce is missing or inactive. ### How large can my CSV be? The upload limit is 10 MB and the preview loads up to 20 000 rows. For very large catalogues, split your CSV into multiple files. ### Where can I find documentation and support?
