What you can do

Bulk content work without the bulk work

Use the spreadsheet workflow your team already understands, while keeping full control over Joomla content structure and publishing.

Create & update content

Import new articles or update existing ones by ID. Map categories, aliases, tags, access levels, featured status and publishing data.

Build reusable templates

Design your article layout once, then merge spreadsheet values into placeholders while preserving consistent HTML and formatting.

Control Joomla parameters

Map metadata, author data, dates, languages, images, SEO fields and virtually every article parameter from your file.

Populate custom fields

Import Joomla Custom Fields and supported extension data for directories, catalogues, structured content and e-commerce workflows.

Import at scale

Process hundreds or thousands of rows in one operation—ideal for agency builds, product catalogues and recurring publishing jobs.

Move configurations

Export and reuse import configurations across development, staging and production sites instead of rebuilding mappings from scratch.
