# Importing Folders and Scenarios

You can use the Scenario Manager to import a file containing a scenario or a folder of scenarios. You can import a file from your local system or from the configured server location.
To import a folder or scenario, you must have the appropriate authority:

- SCENARIO_NEW for scenarios
- FOLDER_NEW for folders

You must also have write access to the folder you want to import into.
Note: By default, the total size of all attachments for any single scenario in the import file cannot exceed 1 GB. You can change this limit by editing the following line in the server application.properties file:

    insight.server.client.attachments.max-total-size=1024MB

The maximum valid limit is 5 GB.

For more information about application.properties, see Editing Application Properties.

## Importing Folders and Scenarios from a Local File

You can import a folder or scenario by uploading a file from your local file system.
When you import an app via browser upload, you become the owner of all folders and scenarios in the import file.
Note: For files larger than 50 MB, import from the server network location instead.

1. Click on the shelf to open the Scenario Manager.
2. Navigate to the destination folder.
3. Click the drop-down import menu and then select Import via Upload.
   Your browser's file selector opens.
4. Choose the `.insight` file you want to import.
   The Tasks dialog opens to show progress of the import.

When the import completes, the imported item appears in the current folder listing.

## Importing Folders and Scenarios from the Server Network Location

You can import a scenario or folder by selecting a file from the configured server location.

1. Click on the shelf to open the Scenario Manager.
2. Navigate to the destination folder.
3. Click Import from Server.
   The Import Scenario/Folder window opens.
4. Choose an `.insight` file from the drop-down list.
5. Click Import.
   The Tasks dialog opens to show progress of the import.
