  2. Click the Upload Keywords or Upload Targets button above your data table to access the uploader.

  4. In the CSV, add your keywords/targets in the column labeled keyword (InText) or target (Pops), entering each keyword/target in its own cell. To assign custom bids, statuses, and other criteria, refer to the list of valid inputs below this list. Save your changes when you are finished entering your keywords/targets.

  5. In the uploader you navigated to in step 2, click the Choose File button and select the CSV you are importing.
