# Importing Individually Saved Export Files

Once you are ready to import, select and open the configuration you will be importing into. Select **File** from the menu, then **Import**.

You will be prompted to select the path and file to be imported. Navigate to the appropriate directory and after selecting the file required, click **Open**.

The **Module** item will be displayed in the **Import Settings** window, along with any associated dependents.

Since this particular selected **Module** was not exported with the **User decides at import** action, then both the **Import** and **Cancel** button are immediately active and available for selection. If **User decides at import** had been selected during the **Export** process for any of these items, then only the **Cancel** button would be active until a decision had been made regards importation.

However, if any dependent item had been exported with a **User decides at import** action, then a decision must be made on that item by right-clicking anywhere on the item line, before the **Import** button is activated. Until that decision is made, the only option is to **Cancel** the Import.

Once the decision is made, the **Import** button is then activated.

Select **Cancel** to abort the import process.

Or select **Import** to continue and process the importation and the configuration database will be populated with the **Module** items.
