• modifiedAt: preferably do not edit manually; if needed, keep the exported ISO-8601 value

• Supported examples: 2025-02-14, 2025/02/14, 14.02.2025, 02/14/2025, and ISO-8601 values from Mukon export

How import works

• Import is always additive and never replaces existing lists

• Mukon creates a preview before import

• The preview shows importable movies, detected duplicates, and movies that would be imported as manual entries

• You can import all importable movies or only a selection

• If a TMDB key is present (id), Mukon loads extra details such as description and cover

• If no TMDB key is present (id), Mukon tries to find a unique TMDB match via title

• If no unique match is found, the movie is imported as a manual entry

• Duplicates are detected by TMDB key

• Invalid values show an error with row, column, and movie context
