Managing the details of your imports will help your peers/colleagues understand your imports better and know what data is being pulled from what data source.

Coefficient defaults to naming the imports based on the object(s)/tables that are being used to query and import data. Sometimes that information is not clear to all of your team members, so re-naming your import and/or giving it a description is a great way to help your team. The name of the import in the Coefficient sidebar is also the name of the tab that you see at the bottom of the Sheet. We decided to keep the two identical so it is easy to manage and navigate your workbook.

FAQs for Renaming Imports/Adding Import Descriptions

Can my Sheet name and my import name be different?

The Google Sheet name and the Import name will always match. This is by design and expected behavior in Coefficient.
