# Onboarding CSV

### Template columns

`handler`, `recipientEmail?`, `wallet?`, `tokenSymbol`, `totalAllocation`, `scheduleRef`, `category`, `notes`

* `handler`: If fixed-recipient mode, use `keccak256(recipient)`. Else, any stable identifier.
* `scheduleRef`: References an unlock/vesting template from Step 2.

### Upload & validation

* Duplicate detection, per-cohort totals, email/wallet format checks.
* Dry-run generates a **Merkle root** and a diff report.

**Next:** **Step 4 —** [Dry Run and Go Live](/token-distribution/quickstart/dry-run-and-go-live.md)\
**Prev:** **Step 2 —** [Schedules and Releases](/token-distribution/quickstart/schedules-and-releases.md)
