Quick Start Tutorials > Importing data

You can import existing documentation into your Help & Manual projects from a wide variety of different formats. When you import data you can either create a new project or import the data into an existing project. The procedure in both cases is almost identical.

When you import data an interactive wizard guides you through each step of the process. However, each data format needs to be handled a little differently. You will find important information on each format further below.
