-You can import multiple services based on a CSV file with the format below. You can view an example CSV file at [source/tmpl/bulk_import.csv](https://github.com/statping/statping/blob/master/source/tmpl/bulk_import.csv). Visit the Statping Settings page and scroll to the bottom to upload your CSV file and import multiple services with ease!
+You can import multiple services when the Statping service first loads by creating a file named [service.yml](https://github.com/statping/statping/wiki/services.yml). It will insert the new service into the database, and will not be re-added on reboot. 
 
-You can also download the example CSV file with the [Statping - Bulk Import Services](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vcWM1ecyVFyCrQ-cmNAs5I52B9vq8wzWOw5jvpmUcJI/edit?usp=sharing) link.
+## Custom Yaml
+With Yaml, you can insert "anchors" to make receptive fields simple! Checkout the example below. The `&tcpservice` anchor will return all the fields belonging to `x-tcpservice:`. To reuse these fields for each service, you can insert `<<: *tcpservice` and thats it!
