The import functionality can be accessed from the Resources page by pressing the ![](https://241429605-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVwwvGKUkhNz5JGk0Ltmd%2Fuploads%2Fee8Cf3AMQYwjWu4N8JmJ%2Fimport_code_system_button.png?alt=media\&token=3b117d7e-a5f4-48cd-a44e-c3a67d321696)button located in the header area.

Users have two options to specify the import file in the import wizard: either by clicking in the import area and using the selector, or by drag and dropping it to the designated area.
