# Import data to your Zite database
> Transfer external data from CSVs, Google Sheets, or Airtable to a new or existing database on Zite.
## Add data to a new database
From the dashboard, click `Database`. Alternatively, you may click `Create` on the upper left corner.
Choose to `Import` between a CSV, Google Sheets, or Airtable. In this example, we'll choose `Airtable`.
Select your **source account** and a **base** from there.
That's it! You now have a Zite database with external data.
Click `+ Add field` beside the rightmost column.
**Add tables**
Click at the bottom right followed by `New table`.
Connect your database to Fillout Forms or Zite Apps. Your data syncs automatically.
If necessary, `Share` your database to other users using the option on the top right corner.
## Add data to an existing database
### Import to a new table
Open your database directly or from your Fillout form or Zite app, click `Database` on top.
From the bottom left, click followed by your **database source**.
Upload your CSV file
or choose an existing database from Google Sheets or Airtable.
View a sample of your data and change field types before importing by clicking the **column header**. When everything's all set, `Import database`.
That's it! A new table will be added to your database.
If your database is connected to an `App` or `Form`, remember to click `Publish` in the upper right corner to reflect the changes.
### Import to an existing table
Open your database directly or from your Fillout form or Zite app, click `Database` on top.
On the bottom left, click next to the name of your table followed by `Import data` and select your **database source**.
Upload your CSV file
or choose an existing database from Google Sheets or Airtable.
You'll see a preview of the columns to be imported. Here, you can `Edit mapping` to change which columns on your external file you'd like to match with columns on your existing Zite database. `Import database` when the mapping's all set.
That's it! New rows have now be added to your existing table.
If your database is connected to an `App` or `Form`, remember to click `Publish` in the upper right corner to reflect the changes.
On apps, click to make the imported data appear in your app.
