# CYE Import Project Files

## Importable Project Files

LGSx, LGS, and JSA files can be imported into Cyclone ENTERPRISE as a native project. The Project Import area can be accessed from both the **Project Selector** and **Administration | Projects** areas.

> [!NOTE]
> Please check [Project File Compatibility](/v1/docs/cyclone-enterprise-cye-project-file-compatibility) for version compatibility.

## Required User permissions

Only the following Roles may import projects:

- Supervisors
- Administrators
- Group Admins

## Upload a Project in the Administration Area

To import the Project files from the Admin Area, navigate to the **Administration | Projects | Projects** tab and click on the **Import** button

The selected files will be queued for import. If an unneeded project is queued, it can be removed from the import list by clicking the **Remove** button. Users may choose the Group and Storage location and start the import process by clicking the **Start** button. When the upload is started the upload and import progress will be displayed.

After the import process completes, the project can be found in the Project Selector or the Project Administration area.

> [!NOTE]
> Refer to [Compatibility and Upgrades](https://demo.cyclone-enterprise.com/help/en/adminhelp/02_Deployment/0208_Compatibility_&_Upgrades.htm) Section in for details on LGSx, LGS and JSA version compatibility.

> [!NOTE]
> The upload process requires Cyclone ENTERPRISE to remain active in the browser. You may navigate away from the import page to other areas within the Application and then return at any time to check progress. But, **do NOT close the tab or browser. This will cancel the upload**.

## Upload a Project from the Project Selector

In the Project Selector, the Project Import button is displayed in the top left corner of the selector area. This will take you to the same Project Import area as the button in the Administration area. Please see the above steps for more information.

## Handing of the duplicate Project names

When importing a Project file (LGSx, LGS, JSA) into Cyclone ENTERPRISE, it is possible that a Project with the same name already exists. In this case, the user may set a new name to the project and proceed with the import.
