8.2. Importing a Process Definition

To import an existing BPMN2 or JSON definition, do the following:

Whenever a process definition is imported, the existing imported definition is overwritten. Make sure you are not overwriting a process definition you have edited so as not to lose any changes.

A process can also be imported to the git repository in the filesystem by cloning the repository, adding the process files, and pushing the changes back to git. In addition to alternative import methods, you can copy and paste a process or just open a file in the import dialog.

When importing processes, the Process Designer provides visual support for Process elements and therefore requires information on element positions on the canvas. If the information is not provided in the imported Process, you need to add it manually.
