    The Import Project option is available by:

    • clicking More Actions > Import Project on the ribbon
    • right-clicking the folder and selecting Import Project.

    After you click Import Project, the Import Project dialog appears.

  5. Click the button and select the Blueprint project. All Blueprint exported projects are in .zip file format.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Specify a name for the project.

  8. Click Import.

    Note: Please be patient. The import process can take an extended period of time, depending on the size of your project. If there is a problem with the import, an error message is displayed.
