## Understand the CSV template
34+
35+
Download and fill in the bulk upload CSV template to help you successfully invite Azure AD guest users in bulk. The CSV template you download might look like this example:

38+
39+
### CSV template structure
40+
41+
The rows in a downloaded CSV template are as follows:
42+
43+
- **Version number**: The first row containing the version number must be included in the upload CSV.
44+
- **Column headings**: The format of the column headings is <*Item name*> [PropertyName] <*Required or blank*>. For example, `Email address to invite [inviteeEmail] Required`. Some older versions of the template might have slight variations.
45+
- **Examples row**: We have included in the template a row of examples of acceptable values for each column. You must remove the examples row and replace it with your own entries.
46+
47+
### Additional guidance
48+
49+
- The first two rows of the upload template must not be removed or modified, or the upload can't be processed.
50+
- The required columns are listed first.
51+
- We don't recommend adding new columns to the template. Any additional columns you add are ignored and not processed.
52+
- We recommend that you download the latest version of the CSV template as often as possible.
