# Imports and Creation

> Student creation paths, import guidance, and why duplicate detection must stay operator-assisted.

Task page:

* [Import Students](import-students)

Kralis supports creating students individually and in bulk.

## Individual creation

Use individual creation when:

* the school is adding a small number of students
* an operator needs to carefully review each field
* the student has special placement details

## Bulk imports

Bulk import is the better path when a school is onboarding or moving large
student sets.

## Duplicate caution

Student identity cannot be guaranteed from name matching alone.

Two different students may legitimately share similar or identical names, while a
single student may appear in multiple naming arrangements.

That means duplicate handling should be treated as operator assistance, not as
automatic truth.

## Suggested operating rule

* use fuzzy matching to surface likely related students
* let the operator decide whether the row is new or existing
* avoid hard-blocking imports based only on names
