Is the app available in other languages?

No at the moment. We are working on a German version.

Can I upload an Excel file, a CSV file, or connect Google Sheets?

This is not directly possible. However, you can enable "bulk editing" which allows you to cut-and-paste scores from a spreadsheet or elsewhere straight into an existing leaderboard (It's not supported for scoreboards).

To enabled bulk editing:

1. Click on EDIT at the top of the board and then
2. click on "Entering data" and then
3. click the "enable bulk editing" checkbox.
4. Now you can go back to your leaderboard and click the "UPDATE LEADERBOARD" button at the top.

You'll then be able to paste your scores into the textbox and update all scores and players at once.

Some things to remember:

• You can quickly add and delete players to the board using bulk editing. Only the players you paste will stay on the board.
• Using this function deletes all players from the board and repopulates them with what you have pasted. This means custom colors and profile pictures will be lost.
• The news feed will also be removed from the board.

You can also create a leaderboard using cut-and-pasted data: We call them "instant leaderboards".
