          Note
          • The file must meet the specified upload file format. If the file doesn't meet the designated format, then creating conversation may fail.
          • Excel upload/download feature is only supported for certain answer types of regular conversations, such as Default answer, Image answer, Multi-link answer, Multiple choice answer, etc. Tasks can't be uploaded or downloaded by using an Excel file.
          • There are limitations in creating various conversation structures with an Excel file in a chatbot service, so it's recommended to only use the Excel template for simple FAQ-like conversations.
