# Import and Export ADIF

OpsLog is **ADIF 3.1.7 compliant**: a full field dictionary, 30 promoted columns,
a generic "extra fields" editor for anything not promoted, and standard/all
export modes.

## Import

Import an `.adi` / `.adif` file into the active profile's logbook. On import,
OpsLog parses every field, maps standard fields to columns and keeps unknown but
valid ADIF fields in a per-QSO **extras** store (editable later). Country / zones
are enriched from `cty.dat` where missing.

## Export

- **Whole log**, **selected rows**, or the **filtered view** (no limit) — see
  [[Recent QSOs and Filters]].
- **Standard** mode exports the common promoted fields; **All** mode also exports
  every extra field.
- **Cabrillo** export for contest submission.

## Round-trip safety

Award references you assign manually are stored in an ADIF extra field
(`APP_OPSLOG_AWARDREFS`), so exporting your full log and re-importing it does not
lose your award-reference assignments.

## Tips

- To move a batch of QSOs between logs, export selected → import into the other
  profile.
- Use **Find duplicates** (Tools) after importing to catch overlaps.
