Inventory master.xlsx · ItemsHow it works
The importer does the repetitive cleanup while keeping you in control of every decision.
Bring one or more CSV, XLS, or XLSX files. The importer is designed for the inventory files your team already uses.
Your browser opens the files and recognizes common fields like item name, SKU, quantity, location, supplier, and cost.
See exactly how each column will map. Change a match, keep a column as a custom field, or leave it out.
Only the rows you approve are sent to your temporary demo workspace. The original spreadsheet file is not uploaded.
Spreadsheet imports are coming next to the demo. This page describes the workflow and safeguards that will ship with the feature.
Built for a safe trial
You should not have to guess what happens after selecting a file. The demo keeps each boundary visible.

The demo blocks AI-assisted spreadsheet mapping. Spreadsheet data is not sent to an AI provider or used to train a model.
Nothing is added until you have reviewed the field matches and approved the structured rows you want to use.
Approved rows live only in the temporary demo workspace, which is scheduled for deletion when the demo expires.
Nothing hidden
The original file and the approved workspace data are two different things. Matte shows you the line between them.
Files, sheets, formatting, and unapproved columns stay in your browser.
The inventory fields you reviewed are saved so you can explore Matte with familiar data.
FAQ
Here is the plain-language version of what the demo importer will do and what it will not do.
Yes. The demo is free, requires no credit card, and does not require you to create a permanent Matte workspace.
The demo importer is being built for CSV, XLS, and XLSX files. It will accept up to 10 files at a time, with a 25 MB limit for each file.
No. Your browser reads the original files locally. When you approve an import, only the structured row data you reviewed is sent to the temporary demo workspace.
No. AI-assisted mapping is blocked in the demo. Spreadsheet contents and metadata are not sent to an AI provider through this import flow.
Yes. Review is a required step. You can confirm or change column matches, keep useful columns as custom fields, and exclude anything you do not want to import.
Matte validates the approved plan before committing it. If validation fails, the import is rolled back so you do not end up with a partly imported workspace.
The demo workspace is temporary. When it expires, Matte schedules the workspace and its demo data for deletion, including any rows you imported.
Not quite yet. Spreadsheet imports are the next demo feature we are building. The page explains the workflow and safeguards that will ship with it.
