Import Assembly Wizard

Use the Import Assembly Wizard to import an assembly into the assembly tree.

Publishing settings must be specified for the assembly into which you are importing an assembly.
To use the Import Assembly Wizard:
  1. On the assembly tree, right-click the root or folder where you want to import the assembly and choose Import Assembly Wizard.
  2. For the option How would you like to find the assembly?, use Browse to select the assembly location, or select Search to find the assembly based on the search criteria.
    • If you choose to select the assembly by browsing, click the Browse button. Select the assembly type tab, select the assembly and click OK.
    • If you are using the Search option to find the assembly, select the assembly type under Assembly Type to Search.
  3. Choose the following options. Selecting the option = Yes, clearing the check box for the option = No.
    • Copy Paper Publishing Elements? - Select this option to include paper publishing elements from the source assembly in the new assembly.
    • Reset Lifecycle Information? - Select this option to reset the lifecycle information for the new assembly. If this option is not selected, the lifecycle from the source assembly will be included in the new assembly.
    • Retarget copied Reference Leafs? - Select this option to retarget the reference links copied from the source assembly to link to their targets in the new assembly. If the Reference Leaf points to a leaf that is also part of the import, the Reference Leaf will be updated to the copied target instead of the source assembly. If the Reference Leaf points to a leaf that was not included in the import, but a leaf in the target assembly matches the source assembly and was created from the same template, then the leaf will be retargeted.
    Note: You must retarget in-process links to leaf elements when using an imported assembly file that contains previously defined in-process links that target leaf elements.
  4. Click Next.
    If you have selected the assembly by using the browse option, move to step 9.
  5. Enter the search criteria and click Next.
  6. Select the assembly from the matching assemblies and click Next
  7. Expand the assembly, then click the root or part of the assembly to import, and click Next.
    The Import Completed window appears, listing the actions taken.
  8. Click Finish.
    The updated Assembly is displayed.
  9. Right-click the root or the folder and choose Expand Range to see the full assembly with the imported assembly.
