Import a layout

You can import a layout created in another Galaxy to the Visualization folder of the System Platform IDE. Exported layouts are saved in an aaPKG file.

During the import process, you have the choice to keep or overwrite any layouts currently in the Visualization folder with the imported layouts.

To import one or more layouts

1. Open the Visualization folder.

2. Select the Galaxy ribbon, then select Import.

3. Select Objects, then, From package.

   The Import Objects from package dialog box appears.

4. Go to the folder where the aaPKG file containing layouts is located.

5. Select the aaPKG file and click Open.

   The Import preferences dialog box opens with options to import layouts. You cannot have two layouts with the same name or more than one copy of the same version of a profile in the same Galaxy. When you import a layout, you can choose options from the Import preferences dialog box how you want naming and version conflicts handled.

   

6. Click Import to import the layouts.

   A progress bar shows the layouts being imported into the Visualization folder. After finishing the import, you should see the layouts in the list of Visualization folder objects.
