Go to TRANSACTIONS.

In the top RH corner there's a dropdown menu marked ACTIONS, from which you need to select IMPORT HISTORICAL PLAYER(S).

Select the database and then apply the settings you want.

See the screenshot below for the button you use to add the .txt file.

When you're happy all is in order, click OK.

I always recommend you backup the save before doing this in case something goes wrong.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your help .I am not sure I correctly explained my issue .How do I get the file with my entries into the data where I can select the file from the Select file button ?

My steps thus far are :I open notebook ,place my players in using the format ie ruthba01,1927 etc. I close the file and save it to my drive .Then what? how does it get into the ottp game from where i can select the file ?

Go to Settings on main start screen. Go to troubleshooting. Click Open files with customizable data. Save the txt file there. Note where that is (just above the stats folder). Go to the player importer. Select mass import from file. From there navigate (likely up one step) to where you saved the txt file. Select it. Hit the import button.

The txt could have been anywhere but I had you save it somewhere easy to get to.
