# Importing a Sync Mode

A Sync Mode can be exported from one controller and imported to another.

Export and Import are only possible if they are performed on the same controller, or different controllers running the same software version and controller type.

1. In the Plant structure , select a controller from the list.

2. On the menu bar, select the Sync Mode tab. The workspace area displays a list of all the current Sync Modes.

3. Select the Add command button and select Import.

4. Select Open File and browse to select the relevant .json file.

5. Select Add.

When importing a Sync Mode, the connected Multistep Tightening Programs are also included. If there is no space to import the Multistep Tightening Programs, because the maximum number has already been reached, then the whole import operation will fail.
