Locations are the places you send physical books to, such as a bookstore, a gift shop or a convention. You need at least one active location before you can log a shipment.

## Add a location

1. In the left sidebar, click **Inventory Manager**.
2. Click **Locations**.
3. Type the name into **Add a location…** and click **Add**.
4. The window stays open so you can add the next one. Click **Done** when you're finished.

## Import a list of locations

If you already keep your stockists in a spreadsheet:

1. Click **Locations**, then **Import CSV**.
2. Choose a CSV, TSV, TXT or Excel (XLSX or XLS) file.

The file needs just one column of location names. If a column header contains the word "name", that column is used. Otherwise the first column is used, so a plain list of names with no header works too.

Names that already exist (ignoring capitals) and repeated names in the file are skipped. A message tells you how many were added and how many were skipped.

## Rename a location

1. Click **Locations**.
2. Click the pencil icon next to the location.
3. Change the name in the box at the top and click **Save**, or click **Cancel** to stop editing.

Renaming doesn't change the location name on shipments you've already logged.

## Archive or restore a location

Click the archive icon next to a location to archive it. Archived locations aren't offered when you log a new shipment, but their past shipments stay in your list.

To bring one back, tick **Show archived** and click the restore icon next to it.

Locations can't be deleted, only archived.
