In Arbil there is a number of possibilities to import the data.

The first way to import data is from the Remote corpus to the Local corpus, either by right clicking on the required branch in the remote corpus and selecting Import to Local Corpus, or by dragging and dropping it.

If you want to import data from you local computer disk, or from the network, go to File menu, select Import, and then choose the required data from your local disk, or from the network; your data wil be imported at the root level.

In addition, at Local Corpus level, the context menu that comes out when right clicking one of the nodes includes further import options:

Import Branch (i.e. importing a piece of your corpus) gives you the ability to import part of your corpus from your disk to the Local corpus.

Reimport this branch (i.e. re-importing form the remote corpus): in order to make changes to a corpus you have already exported to the Remote corpus via Lamus, it is essential to reimport such corpus to the Local corpus and choose Yes to the message question "Overwrite?".
