Who this is for

Migration staff abandoning a staged job or rolling back import-owned records.

Before you begin

An import job exists (Start a studio import).
Understand whether the job was committed.

Steps

Open the import job from Data imports (often on the Files step).
Open Discard import.
Confirm discard when the job is still staged and should not commit.
For committed jobs, follow completion/rollback controls and review blockers before confirming.

Expected outcome

Discard purges staged personal data; rollback removes only safe import-owned records and preserves matched or later-used records.

Recovery

If discard is unavailable, the job may already be committed; use rollback controls and read blockers carefully.

Upload, map, validate, and review import data — upload and validate.
Commit and reconcile an import — commit path.
