Import an existing organized library to add volumes to Kapowarr
A few notes:
- Review Scan is the familiar workflow: scan a batch, check Kapowarr's ComicVine matches, then confirm the import yourself.
- Continuous Auto-Import checks all root folders in the background, one folder at a time. Strong ComicVine winners import automatically; tied, weak, or missing matches are held untouched for manual review.
- While Continuous Auto-Import is running, you can open its accumulated review holds without stopping it, or request a safe stop after the current folder boundary.
- Continuous mode deliberately spaces ComicVine search starts to stay below the documented request ceiling. You can leave this page while the server-side task keeps working.
- Manual review batches can still reach ComicVine's rate limit. Kapowarr reports that condition instead of silently turning it into a missing match.
- Files are not allowed to be directly in the root folder. They have to be in a sub-folder.
- If each issue has a separate sub-folder, enable 'Apply limit to parent folder' for Review Scan so that the limit is correctly applied.
Continuous Auto-Import always scans all configured root folders, matches English volumes, and keeps existing filenames/folders. The controls above apply to Review Scan.

The import task runs on the Kapowarr server. Review Holds uses the ComicVine results the importer already fetched, so opening it does not restart those searches.
