1. Select Menu > File > Import > Import Elements.
2. Select the files you want to import, then click Import.
   The Management Server automatically checks if any elements in the file to be imported have the same name and XML content as any elements that exist. A new tab opens.
3. If any conflicts are found between elements in the import file and existing elements, select the Action for each conflict according to the conflict type.
   Tip: If there is a conflict between existing elements and elements in the Policy Snapshot, the differences are shown in color in the XML format. To view the elements in XML format, select More actions > Show XML.
4. When there are no more conflicts, click Continue to start the import.
5. When the import is finished, click Close.
