Research direction

Start by comparing the Excel and Unicode CSV guidance in docs/central-submissions.rst, docs/aggregate-data-access.rst, and docs/briefcase-using.rst. Search the documentation for bulk entity creation from CSV and decide whether the existing information should be consolidated or supplemented. Done means the relevant guidance is complete, consistent, and also covers bulk entity creation.
