Is that possible? Leads don't seem to have an ID - how can I upload file with Leads info and update the already existing leads?

    @Marcelina Drozd - Leads do have IDs. The IDs look something like this: f4fd0400-7b17-11ed-8b9f-a5578f640e74

    You will find it in the browser URL when you open a lead detail, or when you export leads in CSV.

    @Amit Sarda - Pipedrive Consultant - AmitSarda.xyz The ID is not in the exported file - I can see it in the URL but I cannot add them in bulk to all Leads and export them

    It is available when you export leads from the exports tab.

    Thanks but it is a terrible user experience - I cannot export what I need as in the Leads tab and now I need to work in two excels to merge the data together and then be able to upload the Leads again to update them :(

    Would be great as a Lead ID could be added to the list view as for Deals, People and Organisation - I would save so much time
