  1. While on the Review your import page, click on the Add To List button on the top right
    1. If you see the name of your List instead of the Add To List button, it's because you were viewing the list when you began your List import. The same instructions will still apply below.
  2. Choose either Add to Existing List or Create a New List
  3. If you choose Add to Existing List, a small window will appear showing you the options for Lists that you've already created.
    1. Choose the List you want then click Add.
  4. If choose Create New List, a small window will appear allowing you to create a new list
    1. Type out the new List Name for the list you are creating
    2. Set the Color
      1. Don't worry, you change this later
    3. Click Create List

Once you've picked the correct list, click Import on the top right and just wait until the screen changes back to the My Network page. That's it!
