  5. Under Application, check the box to import the configuration stored in the LAR or leave it unchecked to keep your current configuration.

  6. Under Content, decide which content types (calendars, resources, and events) to import and whether to include comments and ratings.

  7. Choose whether to import permissions and deletions, and decide whether to delete your widget’s existing data before the import.

  8. In the collapsible Update Data section, choose how data should be updated.

    Mirror: The data is imported with a reference to its source. This way, data can be updated rather than duplicated if the same LAR is imported more than once.

    Copy as New: All data is imported as new entries. Repeat imports produce duplicates.

  9. In the Authorship of the Content section, choose whether to keep the original author of the imported content (where available) or to set the current user as the author.

  10. Click Import.

Your imported calendar data is now available for use. Better check it to see what’s next on the agenda.
