2. How to upload your data to the Greenly platform?
To upload your data, click on the corresponding task on the Progress page or go to Data > Data Collection > Downstream transportation with products weights.
1/ You have two options to upload your data:

Using the template by clicking on "Bulk import". The template is downloaded in the same language as the platform. When using it, we ask you to fill the English one with English data and the French one with French data. You can always download the other language on the READ ME page of the template.
Whichever you use, please make sure to fill out the mandatory fields. You must fill at least one full group of blue columns on the template.
Import your data in the section “Upload file”. You can also provide additional files to prove or support the data you’re submitting—for traceability and auditability, in the section “File Information (optional)”
