### <mark style="color:orange;">**STEP 4 MAP THE UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS AMD CHOOSE YOUR SETTINGS**</mark>

\
\- Map the unique identifiers: this is an important step. Choose a unique column identifier in CSV that has no duplicate value, so each row can be identified. Choose a Webflow collection field (plain text only) to contain that value. Ideally a slug.\
\- Choose your settings: create a new collection item in Webflow or ignore if the Webflow field does not already exist.\
\- Save and continue[‍](https://assets-global.website-files.com/61e2e0aae488226c3a9ca2c5/658404d0d9af7b3bddda70c7_Airtable%20personal%20access%20token%20step%201.PNG)

### <mark style="color:orange;">**STEP 5 MAP YOUR CSV COLUMNS TO WEBFLOW FIELDS**</mark>

\
\- Your CSV columns and Webflow fields will appear automatically in each column (CSV: left column; Webflow: right column).\
\- Choose the CSV columns you want to sync on the left-hand side.\
\- Choose the Webflow fields you want to sync each CSV column to on the right-hand side\
\- Once all has been set up correctly, click on "Save"[‍](https://assets-global.website-files.com/61e2e0aae488226c3a9ca2c5/658404d0d9af7b3bddda70c7_Airtable%20personal%20access%20token%20step%201.PNG)
