  2. At the ZIP file tab, configure the import settings:
    • Package file: Click Choose file to browse and select the zip archive of the course on your local computer.

    • Merge with course: Leave empty if you wish to make the imported course a separate course entry. Select an existing course from the drop-down menu if you want to add the materials of the imported course to the already existing course entry.
    • Tool name: Uncheck the boxes corresponding to certain course sections if you wish to import only some of the course materials, not all of them.
