# Create Your Own Checklist

{% hint style="info" %}
The checklist is a CSV file, and this document explains the requirements for the CSV format. You can use any CSV editor to create it, such as Microsoft Excel or WPS. If you find editing CSV content directly confusing, you can use the online editor at [https://web.simflypad.app](https://web.simflypad.app/) for easy creation.
{% endhint %}

## Get Template File <a href="#get-template-file" id="get-template-file"></a>

Before creating your checklist, it is **strongly** **recommended** that you download a checklist as a template and then make modifications based on it.

#### From SimFly Pad iOS version <a href="#from-simfly-pad-ios-version" id="from-simfly-pad-ios-version"></a>
