Importing history

Bring your history from Plausible, Fathom and other tools, review it before it lands, roll it back with one click.

Bring your history with you

Switching tools should not cost you your past. Export your history from your current analytics and upload it as a single file; it lands beside your live data as its own history, and nothing reaches your dashboard until you have seen exactly what the file contains.

Import in three steps

Export from your current tool

Plausible and Umami Cloud exports are supported. In Plausible, take the CSV export from your site’s settings; in Umami Cloud, use Settings → Data → Export, which emails you a download link. Upload whichever ZIP you were given, as it came.

Upload the ZIP

DashboardSiteSettingsTransfer

Open your site's Settings, the Transfer tab, and upload the file. It is read and staged, not applied yet.

Review, then confirm

Nothing reaches your dashboard until you have reviewed exactly what the file contains: the date span, the metrics, the row counts. Confirm and it lands as daily aggregates in its own store; your live events are never mixed with it and never overwritten by it.

One click rolls it back, completely

An import is fully reversible: one click removes it and leaves your live data untouched. And imported rows never count against your plan, only your own live traffic bills.

What imported history can and cannot answer

A daily aggregate knows visitors, pageviews, sources and pages per day. It does not know sessions, funnel steps or realtime, so views built on those simply start from the day your live tracking began. Charts spanning both eras label which is which rather than blending them silently.

  • Knows: daily visitors, pageviews, top sources, top pages.
  • Does not know: sessions, bounce rate, funnel steps, realtime, Web Vitals.
  • Charts that cross the boundary mark the imported era, so a jump in detail is never mistaken for a jump in traffic.
Exporting your data back out again is always available from the dashboard; see the read API for programmatic access.
