# Importing an automation

## Learn how to import automations in APIANT using the Import menu, choose between standard or new import modes, and update or create automations from export files.

If you have a previously exported automation file and if your account has the "Import" permission, you can import that automation via the Import menu at the top right:

![Document image](https://images.archbee.com/Y2QGD8otsIOv4e0hQQnqa/Imi1xZsQJZ9ZVDeWcX4-v_image.png?format=webp)

 

Select the file to upload and click the Apply button to upload it:

Finally, choose the import mode:

The Standard Import will retain the automation's unique identifiers when possible. If the same automation already exists in your account, it will be updated if the export contains a newer version.

Choose the Create New option to force a new copy of the automation to be created.

 

**Important: All of the automation's referenced apps, triggers, actions, assemblies, and modules are included in the import file.**

**Any content in the system that is older than the imported content will be updated!**

**Do not use automation exports as an archive mechanism!**

**New system releases may not support old versions of exported files.**
