# CSV File

## Overview

The CSV File integration allows you to bring unique datasets into Sola by uploading structured CSV files.

Leverage your own data across Sola’s capabilities to uncover insights, and analyze patterns within your custom datasets.

With the CSV file integration you can bring in custom datasets to explore insights beyond standard integrations.

**Your data can only be retrieved, never modified.**

Once connected, your data is securely stored, and access is restricted to retrieving configurations and metadata only. Authentication methods ensure secure delegation of permissions while maintaining data integrity.

{% endcolumns %}

### Add CSV files

Start exploring your own data instantly, no connectors or integrations required.

Upload a CSV file as a new data source to analyze custom datasets in Sola. Each CSV upload creates a separate, independent integration.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Updating an existing CSV integration**

An existing CSV integration cannot be replaced, updated, or appended to after upload. To use a new or updated file, create a new CSV integration (add it as a new data source). The original integration remains unchanged and can be deleted if no longer needed.
{% endhint %}

## FAQs

### Can I upload a new CSV file to the same integration?

No. CSV integrations cannot be replaced, updated, or appended to after upload. To use a new or updated file, create a new CSV integration.
