PageCrawl can monitor CSV (comma-separated values) files hosted online and notify you when their content changes. It retrieves the file, compares the data against the previous version, and shows exactly what rows or values were added, removed, or modified.

### Setup

1. Click **Track New Page**
2. Paste the direct URL to the CSV file
3. PageCrawl detects the file type and shows the appropriate configuration
4. Choose your check frequency and notification preferences
5. Save

### Password-Protected Files

CSV files behind login authentication are supported. Configure an [authentication setup](/help/features/article/can-i-track-password-protected-websites.md) first, then select it when adding the file.
