If you will click on use images uploaded in the gallery button then CommerceUp platform picks the image from the gallery to map with CSV. You can mark it as unchecked if you are using image links in csv or uploading products without image.
After you have uploaded the CSV file, next is to map the fields. Map only those fields which you want to update and rest you can ignore.
After mapping the fields that you wanted to update, click on Save & Next
After saving mapping, the next step is to start the import of the added products through the Start Import button.
To verify the uploaded CSV has been uploading successfully the publisher will click on the Log button. He can debug the CSV uploaded errors through Import Logs window.
