I don't think you use the CSV file, Adam, the creator, told me you need to use a bdxm file or something like that.Not sure how you'll see this guide, but I managed to do it once, all that matters is that you can load your CSV file (Page 114): https://releases.scythebill.com/Scythebill Manual 15.7.2.pdf
It does have an export feature but it's for moving stuff to e.g ebird.No idea. But it's (surely?) got an export (or backup) and import (or restore) feature - in which case... bingo!
Thanks Niels, this is what helped me to sort it.When in the main window, click file and then "save a copy as". This saves the .bsxm file that contains it all.

Thanks Adam.Yeah, it's always just the .bsxm file. No need to go through .csv files or any other rigamarole.
"Save a copy as" is a good shortcut to get a new copy if you don't know where your .bsxm file is, though you can also use "Open containing folder" in the File menu to get to the right window.
The one and only thing that doesn't get moved when you copy that .bsxm over is entries in the Preferences screen. So if the species count seems almost but not exactly right, check Countability preferences.
I resolved my sp by going to the show reports page and going through list manually. It was a major job with c7000 species to check. Invariably they involved species which had been split and both new species occurred in a given country. Brazil was a good example of this.Sorry folks, another Q.
My species total shows (18 sp), are these unresolved splits and how do I address them if they are, simple speak please .
Sorry to be such a pain but this stuff really does not come readily to me.
I think that's what I'll have to do Rob, thanks.I resolved my sp by going to the show reports page and going through list manually. It was a major job with c7000 species to check.
