→Import Family Tree dialog: remove opinion!
Importing is a risky task, always make a backup of your Tree before importing.}}
[[File:Importfamilytree-dialog-51.png|thumb|right|400px450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Import Family Tree - dialog example]]
First create a [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Starting_a_new_Family_Tree|new and empty Family Tree]]. Then select the menu {{man menu|Family Trees ->Import}} or use the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#2|keybinding]] {{Man key press|CTRL|I}} to import data or restore a previously saved Gramps Family Tree (from an older version of Gramps or the current version) the '''{{man label|Import Family Tree}}''' dialog will open, asking you to specify the file you wish to import.
If you attempt to import into a Family Tree that is '''''not empty''''', the {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Undo_history_warning|Undo history warning]]}} dialog will open. This reminds you make a backup before importing. Create a new Family Tree instead, unless you are knowingly attempting to merge data.
Gramps uses a [https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html GTK File Chooser] for selecting the data file to be exported. The basic options for navigating to a file are familiar and obvious.
The default display option for the filepath is to show each folder level as clickable [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_navigation breadcrumb navigation]. The path can be typed in an editable text box by pressing the {{Man key press|CTRL|L}} keybinding.
