Uploading a spreadsheet is a great option if you already have a list of items or want to add many items at once.
Spreadsheet Layout
We recommend starting with our spreadsheet template.
Your spreadsheet should be formatted like this:
Room | Description | Age | Quantity | Price | Store | Condition |
Kitchen | Cuisinart Drip Coffee Machine | 3 | 1 | $120 | Amazon | Average |
Living Room | Sony Bravia 3 55” 4K TV | 1 | 1 | $700 | Best Buy | Like New |
Bedroom | Ikea Malm dark brown queen bed frame | 0 | 1 | $400 | Ikea | New |
See the Spreadsheet Column Definitions below, as some fields are optional.
Spreadsheet Column Definitions
- Room – The room the item was in (we organize items by room)
- Description – Be descriptive and include as much detail as possible, including brands and model numbers
- If you have a Sony X90 4k television that’s 55 inches:
- ✅ Good description
55” Sony X90 4k TV - 🙅♀️ Bad description
TV
- Age – How old the item is, in years (for example: 1, 0.5)
- Quantity – How many of the item there were
- Price – Optional – The price for a single item
- We recommend including this when possible, as it greatly improves the claim process
- Store – Optional – Where the item was purchased
- Condition – Optional – One of:
New,Like New,Average, orBroken
Price and quantity
If you’re including a price, enter the price for one item, not the total.
For example:
- If you had 5 items worth $100 total
- Enter Price = $20
- Enter Quantity = 5
This helps keep everything accurate.
Using spreadsheet software other than Excel
You can use any spreadsheet software, including Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers.
When your ready to upload, export your file as a CSV or Excel file.

Apple Numbers

Upload your spreadsheet
Make sure your file is either an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv) file.
Open your claim and go to the Upload Sheet page (or Upload tab on mobile).
Add in your spreadsheet and hit Upload. We’ll process it and add all the items to the your loss sheet on the Items page.
If something doesn’t look right, don’t worry—you can edit items after they’re uploaded.
