Replace or modify the participant database in copernico

When deciding which of the two options to choose when importing a file with participants into Copernico, consider the following:

• Is this the first import?

Use the replace option.

• It's not the first import, but you want to delete the existing database and upload a new one.

Use the replace option.

This will delete all participant data and import the new participants.

The file that will be used to modify data will have this format:
