Creating Bots
1. Import a person stack from Ventura
2. In the Scenario Editor, navigate to Personas. From here click the 'Bulk persona editing' button, then 'Export' Personal Details

3. This will export a spreadsheet, remember that Bots are recently created accounts with little influence. Hence, locate and change:
- Creation date - Change the channel's creation date to a recent one
- Followers - reduce their number of followers (influence)
- Following - reduce the number that they are following
- GPS - Change their GPS to being the same location (as these trolls have been created by the same person)

4. Back in the Scenario Editor, Click Import & Replace and select the spreadsheet.

5. The personas channels will now be updated with the new information.
