Can I mass insert/edit phrases?

Basic Usage

Yes, you can mass insert or edit phrases using any database editor that can handle SQLite databases.

Using a Database Editor

We recommend DB Browser for SQLite (free and open-source).

  1. Close PhraseVault completely before editing
  2. Download and install DB Browser for SQLite
  3. In PhraseVault, go to "Help" > "Show Phrase Database File" to locate your database
  4. Open the .sqlite file in DB Browser
  5. Navigate to the "phrases" table to insert or edit entries
  6. Save changes and reopen PhraseVault

Important: Always back up your database before making bulk changes!
