However, if you haven’t done this yet, there is also a manual method to upload your audience to Audiense Insights and run an Intelligence report. First, you need to export your authors of the conversation (filter by X - you will get an export with many columns, including X @authors and X IDs - you only need one or the other) From your social listening export, you should copy & paste your **X Authors** (@handles) or **X IDs** into a separate sheet and **convert this to a TXT** (text only file), but make sure there are no titles or any other data but these authors or ID numbers. #### Follow these simple steps: 1. Go to **Create new report** from your Insights dashboard 2. Give your report a **name** 3. Choose the audience report type, **“Upload your audience”** and click **Next** ![Screenshot 2024-09-25 at 15.42.20](https://help.audiense.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-09-25%20at%2015.42.20.png?width=688&height=339&name=Screenshot%202024-09-25%20at%2015.42.20.png) **4.  Upload the TXT file ** The export from your social listening tool will most likely come as a CSV file. So first things first, let’s get your CSV file ready: - File needs to contain only 1 column with the list of X author handles or IDs, one item per line. There are many ways to do this: 1. *Delete the rest of the data from the document, remove all other columns and rows* 2. *Simply copy and paste the IDs or author handles into a new sheet (no column titles)* 3. *Copy/paste the author handles or X IDs (no column titles or spaces) straight into a tool such as TextEdit.* - File needs to contain **at least 100** individual IDs or handles and a **maximum of 1M**. This means no duplicates. **(\*You can easily remove duplicates on Excel by selecting the cells, then clicking on *Data> Remove duplicates*)** - Save the file as UTF Unicode Text (.txt) - Drag or upload your file by clicking on the arrow (see screen below). ![Screenshot 2022-02-15 at 11.19.20](https://help.audiense.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-02-15%20at%2011.19.20.png?width=688&height=604&name=Screenshot%202022-02-15%20at%2011.19.20.png)   5.
