If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report

I’ve resent this import to detection and it’s complete now!

Just to clarify, the spreadsheet reformatting tips is recommended when you get an invalid import error or when it starts turning occurrence IDs into formulas.

Detection issues are usually caused by invalid image formats/corrupt image files or random hiccup in WBIA. In this case it was the latter due to a large number of jobs in GiraffeSpotter.
