Genesis

Genesis helps you to set up your Craft CMS site structure quickly using CSV files. You can define everything in a spreadsheet and import it all at once.

What Can You Import?

• Sites - Multi-site setup with language and URL configuration
• Entry Types - Define content types with translation settings
• Sections - Channels, structures, and singles with URI patterns
• Filesystems - Local storage paths for assets
• Asset Volumes - Configure where your assets live

How It Works

1. Download the CSV template or create a google / excel sheet.
2. Fill in your data
3. Upload and validate to catch errors before importing
4. Import it, Genesis handles the rest via queue jobs

Validation

Genesis validates your CSV before importing:

• Checks for required columns
• Validates column names against allowed fields
• Verifies data types (booleans, language codes, etc.)
• Ensures referenced elements exist (sites, entry types, filesystems)

This catches mistakes early so you don't end up with partial imports.
