How do I import a sitemap CSV into Screaming Frog list mode?

In Screaming Frog: Mode → List, then Upload → From a File, and point at the CSV (or paste the URL column). List mode crawls only the URLs you provide — perfect for auditing a sitemap's URLs without crawling the whole site. If your CSV has multiple columns, Screaming Frog will use only the first column by default; either reorder so URL is first, or save a URL-only TXT file from xmlsitemapmaker.com using the TXT export. Crawl size is limited to 500 URLs on the free version; upgrade for unlimited list mode. For 100,000+ URL sitemaps, break the CSV into chunks and crawl in batches to manage memory.
