# Importing a Tightening Program Template

A previously exported Tightening Program template can be imported in a ToolsTalk 2 installation or in a ToolsTalk 2 Station Setup installation.

1. Select Library in the left-side menu bar.

2. Go to Program Templates .

   The workspace shows a list of Tightening Program templates.

3. Select Add and then select the Import tab in the Create new Tightening Program template window.

4. Select Open file and select the desired import file. The file must have the format <tightening_program_template_name>.json. Select Open.

   The workspace shows an updated list of Tightening Program templates.

   The exported file can be given any name with the *.json extension. The *.json file contains a Tightening Program template name that is shown in the list of Tightening Program templates. When a Tightening Program template is imported, the name given to the Tightening Program template is taken from inside the *.json file, regardless of the file name. This means that an imported Tightening Program template may have a different name than the imported file name. To avoid Tightening Program templates having identical names, it is advised to give the template a unique name before exporting and not to change the file name.
