# Import existing pages

A quick and efficient way to compose a new presentation is by **importing pages** from other existing presentations. This helps **recycle previously designed content**, saving time and effort.

***

## **Steps to Import One or More Pages from Another Presentation**

### 1. Start the Import Page Wizard

* Go to the **Page** menu.
* Click **Import Page** to open the Import Page Wizard.

***

### 2. Select the Presentation to Import From

* **Choose** whether you want to import from:
  * **Content Library** — to select a presentation stored in the PADS4 Content Library.
  * **File Name** — to import a presentation from a specific file location.
* **Specify the file name** (including the full path) of the PADS4 presentation (.padsx file).
* You can use the **browse** button to locate the file.
* Click **Next** to proceed.

***

### 3. Select the Pages to Import

* Click on the **thumbnail(s)** of the page(s) you want to import.
* **Important**: To select multiple pages, hold the **Ctrl** or **Shift** key while clicking on the page thumbnails.
* Click **Next** to continue.

***

### 4. Finalize the Import

* Click **Finish** to import the selected pages and exit the wizard.

***

## **Remarks**

* If a **page name conflict** occurs (i.e., if an imported page has the same name as an existing page), PADS4 will **automatically generate a new name** for the imported page.
* **Imported pages** will be added **directly after the currently active page** in your presentation.
* If imported pages **use data providers**, these data providers will also be **imported automatically** into your presentation.
