Importing study objects

Note: You cannot import a CSML file into a library if the file contains a study design. A CSML file contains a study design if you exported the CSML from a study. To add study objects that are in a CSML file to a library, import the CSML file into a study, use the Libraries Browser to search for the study objects, and then drag them to the library.

Note: If you uninstall a deployment system, you cannot import a CSML file that contains study objects for that system.
