Importing to new XOT 3 installation was created by pauline.ward@ed.ac.uk
I've been given access to a colleague's installation of a more recent version of Xerte Online Toolkits (both public and admin) which I'm able to view, and I'm also able to create a new module, but there does not appear to be any control in the web interface allowing me to import the modules I've exported from my team's instance. Is it a setting? The public URL won't let me logout from the Guest User login. Whereas when I go to the admin site, I have looked through the various menus and cannot find any that would let me import.

The I icon should become active, when you select the workspace. Please try to select a different folder first, and then reselt the workspace. Does the I icon become active?

Also, this installation uses Guest Authentication. You cannot logout in that case (there is only one user: guest)

Thanks but whether I have the top-level "Workspace" selected or one of the sub-folders I've created, the only icons listed above them are:

- Properties (when I click on Properties, it shows me Folder Contents and Folder Properties, neither of which looks like I could use them to import a module...?)
- Delete
- New Folder
- Some inactive icons: Preview, Duplicate and Publish
Is there supposed to be another icon there somewhere?
Best regards, Pauline

Properties is good! And the properties for the toplevel workspace is (should be) different from the other folders.

See screenshot, and the order in which you need to press the buttons.

Oh yes, that's it working now, I've managed to import several archive zips and I seem to be able to edit or play them. Much appreciated, thank you!
