If a team member gives you an archive of a visual application, you can import it to create a workspace containing all the files in their branch of the application's Git repository. When you create a workspace by importing a file, you create a new Git repository and branch.

1. On the Organization page, select the project where you want to import the visual application.
2. In the VB Studio left navigator, click Workspaces .
3. Click Import.
4. In the Import from file dialog, drag your visual application archive file from your local system to the drag-and-drop area. Or, click the drag-and-drop area and use the file browser to locate the archive on your local system.
5. In the Workspace name, enter a name for your workspace.
6. If multiple environments are available, select the Development Environment. (If only one environment is available, it is automatically selected for you.)

   If you're asked to enable OAuth for the instance you selected, it means your target instance requires authorization to acquire OAuth tokens for accessing the instance. Click Enable OAuth. If you're asked to renew OAuth, it means the tokens used by your target instance have expired. Click Renew OAuth.

7. In Git Repository, choose between creating a new repository where you and others can work on the imported visual application and using a private scratch repository that is visible only to you.
   • To create a new repository for your imported visual application, click Create new repository (based on the one you're importing), then enter a name for the new repository and the branch you want to use.
   • To use a scratch repository for your imported visual application, click Use scratch repository (selected by default).
8. Click Import.
