# Importing your data

By directly importing your data into InDesign, you eliminate re-keying errors and significantly reduce the amount of time required to produce your publication.

The quality of your source data has a direct impact on the quality of the results that can be achieved using EasyCatalog.

Once your data has been imported, it is shown in a spreadsheet-style panel that sits alongside your other InDesign panels. Multiple EasyCatalog panels can be open at any time, allowing you to work on publications that use data from multiple sources.
