# Import data to your boards

There are two ways to import data into your board:

1. **From text** - just copy and paste directly into the board. Each new line is a sticky note. Simple!
2. **CSV** - Drag & drop or copy/paste a CSV file or tabular data onto the board.
3. **Jira** - Connect to your Atlassian account and pull tickets directly into your board.

### Import CSV or Tabular Data

If you want to import structured data to a board, you can drop a .csv file onto a board, paste .csv data or use the Insert option in the Toolbar. You then map the data columns to board elements like stickies, zones, topics, tokens or task cards.

#### How to import and map your data

1. Drop, paste or Insert your CSV data
2. Select the object types you would like the data imported as, choosing from stickies, zones, groups index cards, and tokens.
3. Confirm the import and your data will be automatically created on the board for you.

   *Tip - You can undo an import with* `Ctrl + z`*, or use the undo button.*

### Import tickets from Jira

{% hint style="info" %}
Jira integration is only available on the Business or Enterprise Plan. For more information about what is included in each plan, [read our guide here](/plans/plans-overview.md).
{% endhint %}

Our Jira integration lets you work with your Jira backlog in your Ludi board.

Jira cards can be imported and edited, or new issues can be sent to Jira from your stickies.

To connect your Atlassian account and import Jira cards, use the import option in the [Toolbar](/boards/the-tools.md), by clicking the board name and selecting 'import data', or if you are using one of our Jira 'powered' templates you will see a 'Import From Jira' button on the board.
