Import Deployment Package Steps
--------------------------------

If you have a YAML file with properties required for the deployment package, you can import it to |software_prod_name| and then set it up for deployment.

To import the deployment package:

1. In the **Deployment Package** page, click **Deployment Package Actions** and select **Import From File**
   The **Import Deployment Package** page appears:

   .. figure:: images/import_deploy.png
     :scale: 50 %
     :alt: Import deployment package

2. In the **Import Deployment Package** page, you can choose to either drag and drop files or click **Browse Files**, to upload files.
   You may select either the individual YAML files that compose your deployment package or a .tar.gz file that contains the deployment package.

3. Click **Import** to import the file(s).

After you have imported the deployment package, the package is displayed in the **Deployment Package** list.
