Every notable change to Monday.com Inspector — the free Chrome & Firefox extension for importing, bulk-updating, and querying monday.com boards. Newest releases first.

v1.6.3
LatestJune 2026
More reliable imports — the Importer now focuses on native, column-level data.
The biggest change in this release is what the Importer won't try to do anymore. Connection columns (Connect Boards / board_relation and Dependency) and computed columns (mirror, formula, lookup) are now excluded from import. They no longer appear as mapping targets in step 3, and any matching file columns are listed under the "hidden columns" disclosure instead of failing silently.
Why we made this change
Connection columns point at other boards. A Connect Boards or Dependency value isn't data — it's a list of references to item IDs that live on a different board (or on the separate subitem board). When you import into a fresh or different board, those source IDs don't exist in the destination, and there's no reliable way to remap them.
Resolving by name was brittle. The previous approach looked up linked items by name. That broke on duplicate names, renamed items, or a linked board your API token couldn't read — producing confusing "every row failed on the Connect Boards column" errors.
Mirror, formula and lookup are computed. Their values are calculated by monday.com from connected or other columns, so there is simply nothing to write — monday recomputes them on its own.
What this means for you
Cleaner column mapping. Only columns the API can actually write show up, so the mapping table stays focused.
No more whole-import failures caused by a single unresolvable connection column.
Recreate links in monday after import. Import all your native data (status, people, dates, text, numbers, dropdowns, timelines, and more), then add the board connections inside monday.com once the items exist.
ℹ Columns excluded from import
Connection: Connect Boards (board_relation), Dependency. Computed / read-only: mirror, formula, lookup, auto-number, creation log, last updated, item ID, button, file. Everything else — the 18+ native writable column types — imports as usual. See the full column-type guide →
Builds on v1.6.2 (smart import error recovery) and v1.6.0 (bulk Excel image upload to File columns).
v1.6.2
May 2026
Smart import error recovery.
When an import finishes with failures, a recovery banner names the column(s) most likely causing them and offers a one-click "Skip these columns & re-run".
Per-row error messages show monday.com's exact response, with a "Copy all errors" button for the whole list.
A "Back to column mapping" shortcut, so a single bad column never blocks the rest of your data.
v1.6.1
May 2026
Connect Boards diagnostics.
Added specific, per-row error messages for Connect Boards / Dependency failures and a skip-Connect-Boards escape hatch.
Superseded by v1.6.3, which removes connection columns from import entirely — so these failures no longer occur.
v1.6.0
April 2026
Excel Image Importer — the feature monday.com never built.
Drop an .xlsx with images pasted into cells — every image is extracted, anchored to its row, and uploaded to a monday.com File column.
Two modes: attach images to existing items (match by name or ID), or create brand-new items from each row with the image attached.
Works on monday.com's "Export to Excel" output and hand-built spreadsheets. Full guide →
v1.5.x
2026
GraphQL Query Inspector, multi-level boards & more column types.
Full-page GraphQL workspace with 14 ready-made templates, a saved-query library, table + JSON results, a complexity meter, and CSV/JSON export. GraphQL guide →
Auto-detection of classic vs multi-level boards (monday API 2026-04) across the schema viewer, query inspector, and importer.
Added rating, country, hour, week, location, and world-clock column support to the importer.
