 * Hello,
   We are not sure if we fully understand your use-case. It depends on what
   you mean exactly:
    - Are you planning to have a table [linked to a CSV](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-wpdatatables/creating-wpdatatables-from-csv/)
      file?
    - Or do you intend to [import the CSV](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/creating-new-wpdatatables-with-table-constructor/importing-data-to-editable-mysql-table-from-excel-or-csv-with-table-constructor/)
      into an editable/SQL-based/manual table?
 * The second option is not available in our Lite/Free Plugin. Additionally, we 
   are not allowed to discuss Premium features in detail on this forum, but we can
   provide a brief initial comment.
 * Regarding your specific use case, we’re not entirely sure we fully understand.
   If your goal is to import data from a CSV to create an editable/manual table,
   and then use our **“[Auto Update Cache](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/caching-data-and-auto-update-cache-in-wordpress-tables/)
   via Cron Job”** feature on this type of table—unfortunately, this is not currently
   possible in either the Free or Premium versions.
 * Here’s why:
    - If you create a table linked to a CSV, you can use the **“Auto Update Cache”**
      feature. This type of table is synchronized with any changes made to the source
      CSV file.
    - However, if you import the CSV to create an editable/manual table, there is
      no connection to the source CSV. That table’s data is saved in the SQL database,
      and you can only manually update this table by uploading a new CSV file via
      the backend.
 * 
   If you have any additional questions about editable (manual) tables, please 
   open a ticket on our [main Support platform here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-csv-create-folder/../../?output_format=md)
   and one of our Agents will respond as quickly as possible.
 * If you don’t have a licence (or if it expired), please open a [pre-purchase ticket](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-csv-create-folder/../../submit/?output_format=md#100010481)
   which doesn’t require a purchase code.
 * Premium products are not supported in these forums, as per [this comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-not-logged-into-wordpress-backend/#post-15050671)

 * Thank you for understanding. 
 * Kind regards.
