How do I stop Rules from auto-applying upon importing them into Quickbooks Online?

I've exported hundreds of rules out of a client's books. Now I'm sorting them into categories into excel so I can make sense out of them to better utilize this function and to ensure there are no repeats or collisions occurring. I am then creating separate spreadsheets just for different categories and am ready to import them. What I am finding however, is that the rules will come in ready to be applied.  I know how to disable rules within the rules section of Quickbooks online, but that's only to the rules that are already there.  Is there a switch to stop rules from running period?
