Categories File Upload
Categories can be added or edited through file uploading. You can start by downloading a sample CSV file or exporting existing categories list as a CSV file. Column names in the file are the same as Field names in add category screen.

Categories are identified using category name. So, category name can't be edited. If the category name is edited a new category will be created with the new name once the file is uploaded. Old category will also remain since the system considers it as a category which is not edited from the file upload.
