The .CSV file for bulk updating user accounts must be in the expected format in order to perform any update actions. Some fields are mandatory for particular updates, and leaving fields blank may in some cases clear the field, so be sure to check the required fields for the action being taken.
A .CSV file can be edited in either a spreadsheeting application (e.g. Excel), or a plain-text editing application (e.g. Notepad).
