2. Import by Collection Tree
If your file contains hierarchical data (categories/subcategories), you can import by Collection Tree.
Select the «Collection Tree» option:

Example file with categories:

Next:
- Select a separator in the «Collections delimiter» field (for example:
/,|,,) - Choose the «Collection tree list» option from your file

3. Remove Current Associations
If you need to remove all existing product collection associations during the import, enable the option:
«Remove collections associations»

Tips
- Collection Name import for simple, flat structures.
- Collection Tree splits values using the selected delimiter (e.g., ->) and assigns products to all levels as separate collections.
- Always double-check the delimiter when using Collection Tree to ensure proper splitting of levels.
- If replacing collections, remember that Remove associations will unlink products from all collections first.
