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 by right clicking on the remote corpus and selecting import to local corpus, or by "drag and drop".
In the case you want to import data from you local computer disk, or the network, you can do this from the menu bar by going to Files, Import and then selecting the data from your local disk, or the network; your data is imported at the root level.
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 (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 it to the Local corpus and select overwrite changes.
Import CSV (i.e. in the table format) gives you the ability to import edited data in the Local corpus in the form of a table (for details see section 7.3 below).
