If the import error indicates an unsupported file format, what is the required fix?

When faced with an import error indicating an unsupported file format, the appropriate solution involves converting the file to an approved format. This means that the initial file type is not compatible with the system's requirements, possibly due to file structure, encoding, or other format-specific criteria.

Converting the file entails using compatible software or tools to change the file into a format that the system can recognize and process appropriately. For instance, if the system supports CSV files but the data is in an Excel format, it would be necessary to convert the Excel file to CSV format to resolve the issue.

Other strategies, such as renaming the file, may not address compatibility problems if the underlying format remains unchanged. Deleting the file does not resolve the issue since it simply removes the file without addressing the format problem. Similarly, uploading the file again without converting it will produce the same unsupported format error. Therefore, proper conversion is essential for effective resolution of the import error.
