5. Set Import settings

The initial Import file box will be replaced by a smaller box containing import settings. These are the Import location and the Separator type

The Import location sets where the data from the Airtable CSV file will be added to. We will select Insert new sheet(s) to tell Google Sheets to insert the data as a new sheet to the active spreadsheet.

We then set the separator type. Since the Airtable CSV file uses commas to delineate the cells, we set this to Comma
