Open the 
Import Data window.
Specifies the type of data that you want to import from a file that has been exported from another Microsoft Dynamics NAV database.
When you export data from a Microsoft Dynamics NAV database, the data is stored in a file with the extension .navdata. If you choose to import data of a type that already exists in the database, you risk overwriting the data. You will be asked to confirm that you want to overwrite the existing data.

| You can export and import the four types of data in different combinations. However, you must maintain database integrity and not leave databases in a state when you cannot open Microsoft Dynamics NAV. |
What to Import
You can import specific sets of data, such as a company or other data. The following table describes what you can import from a .navdata file.
| Type of data | Description |
|---|---|
Company | Imports the specified company or companies, or all companies in the database. This includes the company-specific business data but no other data. |
Global data | Imports data that is common to all companies in the database. This includes the report list, user IDs, and printer selections, but no company-specific business data. |
Application data | Imports the data that defines the application in the database. This includes the permissions, permission sets, profiles, and style sheets. |
