note
Possible reasons for import failures:
- Not having a proper /ID tag for the usfm file https://ubsicap.github.io/usfm/identification/books.html
- Not having proper chapter tags
Recommendation: You require all the chapters of the book in the usfm for effective functioning of the application.
You can check your usfm file https://usfm.vachanengine.org/
caution
Check your file before importing, empty chapters will overwrite. Existing content in the application would be overwritten on import.
