Show which contacts were updated during file import

When you load new contacts, it lets you know how many of those were updated. If it knows this, it should be able to show you who specifically was updated with the new upload.

Show which Contacts/email addresses were Updated and which were New

Did the activity status (i.e., how many were added, updated, etc.) that now only fleetingly flashes on the screen before disappearing after adding contacts always disappear too quickly to see? It would be nice if it displayed on the screen rather than having to click the Activity link to see how many were added, etc.

Hi @PhilP2  thanks for sharing this feedback with us! The activity status pop-up does flash on the screen before it is no longer visible. You can however still see this information under the Activity Page of your contacts. How and where would you expect this information to display on your page instead?

It would be helpful if more detail could be provided on the activity screen. To be more specific (though other activities may lend themselves to other details) - when importing a list of contacts to add them to a list (or multiple), it would be very helpful to be able to look back and see exactly which lists they were added to. All it tells me now is "Imported: # contacts (# new, # updated)."

8 years since this thread started and there is still no way to see which contacts were updated during an upload.

@Constant Contact - how can I see which contacts were updated during an upload? I need to be able to check and ensure they were properly updated, I can't just trust that the software imported my file perfectly....
