The Apply button is greyed out and the Import... button takes me to a page that doesn't allow for text input:

My use-case is that I'd like to be able to import a bunch of xpubs from a multisig wallet on an eternally quarantined machine and use that to assist in verifying receive addresses. It'd be great to include in my guide here for example:

On a related note, it'd be awesome if you could just take a Specter-Desktop wallet (xpub) output file and just import the whole thing. It uses script descriptors, so you get all the pubkeys and m/n.

It is in Multi-Signature policy in your picture. Did you try inputting it with Single Signature policy?

I'm trying to do it as part of a multisig, but I get the same issue on single sig p2wpkh:

Thanks for pointing this out - I was aware of it but didn't get around to fixing it before the first release. Currently, you have the option of adding a watch only keystore when you first create the keystore, but not afterwards. I will probably add a 'Watch only Keystore' button on the left at the bottom of the import dialog. This will close the dialog and give you the normal watch only keystore view which allows the user free text entry in the fields.

For now a workaround is to change the M/N sliders which will create fresh keystores. The watch only option is then on the right in the initial selection buttons.

I will take a better look at Specter-Desktop - my intention with Sparrow is to be able to import and export from multiple formats so very in line with that. Your suggestion of using an airgapped computer as a multisig coordinator/address checker is one of the key use cases for Sparrow as well.

Fixed in 7d7c5e5 through a button added to the bottom left of the keystore import dialog.
