Add multiple websites simultaneously to global exclusions

I just chatted with a support agent who informed me that there is currently no way to import/export either of these lists. However, he did invite me to submit a "feature request". Looks like I'm in for several grueling man-days of copy-and-pasting!  

I'm curious to know if this is something you need to do.

When you're in Exclusions (global - https://cloud.sophos.com/manage/config/settings/scanning-exclusions ) or in the Threat Protection policies, these exclusions prevent the scanning of content and malicious URL lookups for them.  These are not a way to bypass the sites for Web Control.

For web control - categorisation there is a site list: https://cloud.sophos.com/manage/config/settings/websites-tagged.

Here you can past a bunch of URLs at once and either tag them, so these tags can be referenced in Web Control policies or you could say override the category.  You could for example override the category of all the sites you wish to allow to be business, if business is a category you allow.

Thank you Jak. In that case, we will probably end up using a tag and allowing it within all policies. Do you have any tips for peripheral control? We have all the desired policies and exemptions set up in Enterprise Console. It would be nice if we didn't have to redo everything in Central.
