Package Import page appears. Continue with the next step.

•

To keep the newest configuration, select

•

To save the imported configuration as a new configuration, select

and, optionally, edit

the configuration name.

If you are importing an access control policy that includes a file policy with either the clean list or
custom detection list enabled, the

If you are importing an access control policy or saved search that includes a dependent object, either
accept the suggested name or rename the object. The system always imports these dependent objects
as new. You do not have the option to keep or to replace existing objects. Note that the system treats
objects and object groups in the same manner.
