# File Sources

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Before specifying File Sources you need to set up** [**Column Mappings**](/column-mappings.md) **and fully configure your template**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Usually you would use only one file (we call it feed file) for your imports, the main spreadsheet, CVS, or XML file. But if you need to import pictures, you need to use ZIP files or folders.
