### Importing a Rule

First, make sure you're logged in and navigate to the **Business Rules** category on the sidebar.  

Importing a rule can have one of two meanings:

* [Importing a new Rule](#1.-importing-a-new-rule)
* [Importing a new version of an existing Rule](#2.-importing-a-new-version-of-an-existing-rule) 

#### 1. Importing a new Rule

To import a new Rule navigate to the **Business Rules** category through the sidebar or select a folder you want the rule imported into in the **Folders** manager.
