Importing a project

Importing a project is useful when you want to move a project from one computer to another or share it with another user.

How to import a project

To import a project:

1. Open the project list.
2. Select Import Project.
3. Upload a .skald-project.json file.
4. Choose whether to create a new project or import into an existing one.
5. Resolve any conflicts. See Conflict handling
6. Complete the import.

Import destinations

When importing, you can choose one of two destinations:

Create a new project

Skald will create a new project from the imported data. This is the default choice.

You must provide a unique project name.

Import into an existing project

Skald will add the imported data into an existing project.

This is useful if you want to merge content into a project you already use.

Conflict handling

If imported items have the same name as existing items, Skald will ask you how to handle the conflict.

You can choose:

• "Do not import" - Skips that item.
• "Rename" - Renames the imported item to a unique name, keeping the original and new item.
• "Overwrite" - Replaces the existing item.

Character assignment

If a project was exported without characters, but conversations still reference them, Skald will ask you to assign those references.

You can map each referenced character to:

• an existing character in the destination project
• or leave unassigned

Supported file format

Skald imports project exports in JSON format.

The file must be a valid Skald project export. Other JSON files are not supported.
