Importing project assets
You can import assets that you export from a project (either a project export or a Git archive) into a project. This way, you can add assets or update existing assets (for example, replacing a model with its newer version) to use for your projects.
If you have exported assets from a different project to a zip file, you can import the assets to populate a new project or to add to an existing project.
For details on exporting assets from a project, see Exporting project assets.
For details on importing the project file into a new or existing project, see Importing a project.
Usage notes and restrictions for importing assets
When you are importing assets, consider these notes and restrictions for certain types of assets.
This table describes how import works to resolve cases where assets are duplicated between the import file and the existing project.
| Your project | File being imported | Result |
|---|---|---|
| No assets with matching name or type | One or more assets with matching name or type | All assets are imported. If multiple assets in the import file have the same name, they are imported as duplicate assets in the target project. |
| One asset with matching name or type | One asset with matching name or type | Matching asset is updated with new version. Other assets are imported normally. |
| One asset with matching name or type | More than one asset with matching name or type | The first matching asset that is processed is imported as a new version for the existing asset in the project, extra assets with matching name are created as duplicates in the project. Other assets are imported normally. |
| Multiple assets with matching name or type | One or more assets with matching name or type | Assets with matching names fail to import. Other assets are imported normally. |
