Editing your Reach database

Last updated: April 19, 2026

Reach is Maze's tester management tool. You can use it to build and manage a database of testers, create segments, and send targeted campaigns with Mazes.

Once you've added your contacts, you can edit your database.

How to edit participant data in Reach

Mass editing

To edit existing participants in bulk, import a new CSV file with the updated data.

Before confirming the import, you will review the changes. The existing participants will appear with a yellow background; the new values appear highlighted in green.

Click the Show changes checkbox to see only the rows with updated values.

Importing a CSV file into a Reach database may overwrite/delete existing data. The newly imported CSV will erase any populated fields in the original database if the corresponding fields in the CSV are empty.

  1. Click their corresponding row in the database to open the 'Participant profile' modal.
  2. Under 'Details', click the Edit icon (

How to add new columns to your database

  4. The new column will appear at the end of your database fields, before the Maze metrics columns.

CSV

If an imported CSV has extra columns, you'll have to either map them to an existing database column or add a new column into the database.

To do so, select the option + Add new field from the dropdown and select the field type (Text, Numeric, Boolean, Date with time, or Date).
