Click on “People" on the left sidebar and click the “Add Connections” button in the top-right corner. Then you’ll see possible ways of importing your connections.
If you want to import your LinkedIn connections manually, choose the "Import CSV manually" option from the list.
To get started, you’ll need to export your LinkedIn connections. Here’s how:
Log in to your LinkedIn account.
Go to Settings & Privacy – find it in the dropdown menu under your profile picture.
In the left-hand sidebar, select Data Privacy.
Click “Get a copy of your data.”
Choose “Download larger data archive, including connections, contacts, account history, and inferred profile insights.” Then, click “Request archive.”
If prompted, enter your password to confirm. LinkedIn will generate your data file within a few minutes, and you’ll receive an email when it’s ready.
Download and unzip the archive once you receive the email.
Head back to The Swarm, where you can upload the “Connections.csv” file from the downloaded package.
Once you click "Import" you should see your first imported connections after just a few seconds.

Don’t worry if you can’t see all of your connections at first, because the process of combining and enriching them may take a moment. Connections will appear gradually, so you should see them all when you refresh the page after a couple of minutes.
