Open the menu using the gear icon
- First, click on the gear symbol, then “Import from File” and select the desired file.
- If there are records with the same file name, you may create a copy or overwrite the existing file.
Our suggestion:
We recommend option 1 (create a copy), since this prevents loss of information. You can change the parameters later at any time.
