# Import  

If you want to import settings, click on the Import button and select the desired file. 

### *Importing settings from version 2* 

If you want to import **settings from version 2**, please select the option *"****[MB] DataSuite Version 2 Settings****"*when opening the file.

### *Merging multiple settings files* 

After you select a settings file, you have two options.  

**1. Overwrite all settings**: All current settings will be deleted and only the settings from the selected file will be applied. 

**2. Merge settings**: All existing settings will be preserved and you can decide which items you want to add from the selected file to your current configuration.

**Please note:** 

**Overwrite existing elements**: If you select elements that already exist in your current settings, you will be made aware of this by a hint. If you select them anyway, the current element will be overwritten.
