The Import Business feature allows you to import a business file previously created using Manager.io's Backup function. See the Backup guide for details.
Common situations in which you may need this feature:
Migrating Data from Desktop Edition to Cloud Edition:
To transfer your business data from the Desktop Edition to the Cloud Edition, first click the Backup button within your Desktop Edition to generate a backup file of your business data. Then, use the Import Business option to import this file into your Cloud Edition. This procedure can also be done in reverse if you wish to move your business data from Cloud Edition to Desktop Edition.
Switching Desktop Editions on New Computers:
If you are using the Desktop Edition and have obtained a new computer, you can transfer your business data easily. On your original computer, use the Backup button to create a copy of your business file. Next, import the backup copy into the Desktop Edition on your new computer using the Import Business function.
To import a business file, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Businesses tab.
Click the Add Business button and select Import Business from the drop-down menu.
On the Import Business screen, select the business file from your computer, then click Import.
After the import is complete, you will return to the Businesses tab, where you will see a list of your businesses. Click the newly imported business to open it and confirm it was successfully restored. See the Businesses guide for more details.
