Hi! I am wondering if there is a way to manually create, read, update and delete rows in a database during development and testing. I could not find that part in tutorials. Thank you 🙂 ---

Hi! There’s a few ways to generate testdata. 1. Use GraphQL, perform CRUD operations similar to SQL: [GraphQL - Appfarm Documentation](https://docs.appfarm.io/reference/global-data-model/graphql) 2. Create a new App, with actions just for creating and updating testdata, og using `Import Data` action node to import data from CSV ---

Oki! I used the “import data” action and now I have the “upload data from CSV” visible. What do I do next? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/1X/5924dd43e9d31b552e326ebbf7d705ca88748a5e.png)
