If you have decided to work on a corpus from the Archive you first need to import it
from the Remote Corpus to your Local Corpus, and then you can edit it. To do this, locate
the node/session from the Remote Corpus and simply drag the item and drop it into the
local corpus icon 
. You can also right click on the corpus node you want
to import and choose Import to Local Corpus. In the
dialogue box that pops up you can check the Show Details and
Options box in order to:
(1) Overwrite Local Changes : Overwrite an existing local corpus/session node from the same original location. When is this option useful? Consider the likely scenario that you have imported a node from the Remote corpus and started editing it. If you want to reset the changes, you can reimport it from the Remote Corpus and check the overwrite local changes box. You can apply this option to every branch of the corpora. To do so, first checkShow details and options box; in the window that appears select the function Overwrite local changes.
In the case that you have uploaded a corpus from your local corpus to the Remote Corpus and you want to edit it again, editing should not be done in the already existing file in your Local Corpus. In this case you have to reimport the corpus from the Remote Corpus where your uploaded it before via Lamus.
(2) Copy Resource Files: Import resource files to your computer. Please be aware that copying the resource files may take some time and will use disk space on your computer. When you press Start, the branch will be copied to your Local Corpus tree. The process can be interrupted by clicking Stop. Note that Arbil cannot deal with resources that need authentication.
