+# CSV files **(FREE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14174) in GitLab 14.1.
+
+A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values.
+Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by
+commas. The use of the comma as a field separator is the source of the name for this file format.
+A CSV file typically stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text, in which case each line
+will have the same number of fields.
+
+The CSV file format is not fully standardized. Other characters can be used as column delimiters.
+Fields may or may not be surrounded to escape special characters.
+
+When added to a repository, files with a `.csv` extension are rendered as a table when viewed in
+GitLab.
