Importing Saved Lists
If you created lists on TPL’s previous site, you can easily bring them into your new My Account. Watch the video or follow the steps below to get started.
Learn how to import saved lists
Import your lists
When you first register for a new account, you’ll see a prompt to import your saved lists. Click Request Import to start the process.
If you missed the initial prompt, don’t worry—you’ll see a new prompt in your Library Dashboard. Just click Request Import to bring in your lists anytime.
View and manage your lists
After importing, you can access your lists anytime in the Lists section of your account.
Lists in My Account can include up to 100 titles. If any of your lists from the previous site had more than this, they’ll be split into multiple lists with the same name, with a number added to the end. If a list didn’t have a name, a system-generated name has been added for you. From here, you can fully personalize your lists:
- Rename: Give each list a title that makes sense to you
- Update: Add or remove items as your interests change
- Organize: Rearrange titles, group items or move them to your shelves
Have fun customizing your lists to suit your needs and preferences.
Frequently asked questions
- I experienced an error while importing my lists. What should I do?
- If your import doesn’t go through, first check your internet connection and try again. If the problem continues, contact Answerline for assistance.
- Can I import lists more than once?
- No—each list can only be imported one time. After importing, you can manage or edit your lists directly in My Account.
- Are my imported lists private?
- Yes. Imported lists are private by default and only visible to you unless you choose to share them.
- I want to create a list but not have it visible to everyone. How can I create a list but keep it private?
- Publishing a list does not make it visible automatically. After pressing the publish button, you will be prompted to choose who can see it, including an option to keep it private. To view your lists in My Account, you need to publish them.
- What is the difference between lists and shelves?
- Lists and shelves are both tools to keep track of titles in your My Account and both can be private or public. A list is usually used to group titles around a theme, and a shelf is typically used to keep track of your personal reading: what you want to read, are reading or have already read.
