{% hint style="info" %}
Nexthink Finder is a Windows-only desktop application whose functionality is now available within the Nexthink web interface. Nexthink can now be used directly from a browser and most functions no longer require an additional desktop application.

## Importing a pack from the Library <a href="#importingacontentpack-classic-importingapackfromthelibrary" id="importingacontentpack-classic-importingapackfromthelibrary"></a>

### Via the Nexthink Library website <a href="#importingacontentpack-classic-viathenexthinklibrarywebsite" id="importingacontentpack-classic-viathenexthinklibrarywebsite"></a>

Install a Library Pack on your setup while browsing the catalog of Nexthink Library. This procedure requires that you have Finder installed on your computer:

1. Open your favorite web browser.
2. Navigate to the [Nexthink Library](https://www.nexthink.com/library) website.
3. Optional: combine the search tools to filter and sort the list of Library packs.
4. Select a Library pack from the list.
5. Click the **Install** button to the right of the description of the pack. A dialog box will appear.
   1. Read carefully about the modules required by the Library pack.
   2. Tick the box **I understand** to acknowledge the content of the dialog box.
   3. Click **Install**. Finder will open automatically.
6. Log in to Finder, if not already logged in.
7. Finish the installation of the pack from Finder by configuring the pack, if needed.

### Via Finder <a href="#importingacontentpack-classic-viafinder" id="importingacontentpack-classic-viafinder"></a>

Within Finder, directly import content from Nexthink Library as follows:

1. Log in to Finder.
2. In the left-hand side accordion, select **Nexthink Library**
3. Look for the pack that you want to import:
   * In the **Browse** tab, look for the pack in a list that you can refine by type of solution and sort using different criteria.
   * In the **Search** tab, type in some keywords to find the appropriate pack.
4. Click the plus icon to the right of the name of the pack to import it.
5. [Resolve conflicts](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/using-finder-classic/importing-and-exporting-authored-content-classic/conflict-resolution-classic), if any.

## Importing a pack from a file <a href="#importingacontentpack-classic-importingapackfromafile" id="importingacontentpack-classic-importingapackfromafile"></a>

   * Alerts are locally imported into the **global alerts** section.
   * Investigations and one-clicks are locally imported into their corresponding sections.
   * Portal modules are imported into your **PERSONAL** section in Portal.
6. [Resolve conflicts](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/user-guide/using-finder-classic/importing-and-exporting-authored-content-classic/conflict-resolution-classic), if any.
7. When the message **Pack&#x20;*****\<name>*****&#x20;successfully imported** shows up, click **OK** to finish the import process.

## Sharing the imported modules <a href="#importingacontentpack-classic-sharingtheimportedmodules" id="importingacontentpack-classic-sharingtheimportedmodules"></a>

When importing a content pack, note that the imported Portal modules stay in your **PERSONAL** section of Portal. Remember to [publish these modules](https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/custom-dashboards-classic/reusing-custom-dashboards-content-classic#reusingcustomdashboardscontent-classic-publishingamodule) if you want to share them with other users.
