It would be awesome if we had the ability to set limits on the quantity of records a user can import at once. I’m currently dealing with a situation where someone on my team imported a list of 6,000 contacts (many of which were existing clients) and now i’m having to manually export and re-import a cleaner list since the original import overwrote a lot of our clean data.

Hi @TMcAllister,

I agree! There is already an open request in the HubSpot Ideas section of the community: [Import/Export row limits at User/Profile level](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Import-Export-row-limits-at-User-Profile-level/idi-p/360166)

I’ve also discussed this with the permissions product manager before, they have it on their radar. Requests are evaluated based on their popularity so upvoting/commenting helps.

Best regards!
