Open the menu via the gear icon
- Click the gear symbol, then “Import from File” and select the XML back up file.
- If there are materials with the same file name, you can either create a copy, or simply or overwrite the existing file.
Our suggestion:
We recommend creating a copy to avoid accidently overwriting any materials or losing any settings. You can always edit the parameters at any time.
