# Import an existing Project
> Bring existing code or design work into Replit, understand how importing differs from attaching a file, and continue in the resulting Project.
export const ImportProjectCover = () =>
;
If you have already been working on an app or project, you can bring it into Replit and continue the work in a Project. Importing is different from attaching a file as evidence or context for a Conversation.
## Choose a supported source
The source determines what you provide and how the existing work enters Replit. The current import guide documents these paths:
| Existing work | Supported sources |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Repositories and builder projects | **GitHub**, **Bitbucket**, **Vercel**, **Bolt**, **Lovable**, **Base44**, and **Previous Agent export** |
| Designs | **Figma** and **Claude** |
| Local files and data | **ZIP** and **Spreadsheet** (`.xlsx`, `.csv`, or a public Google Sheets URL) |
Some builder imports use a GitHub repository exported from the original service. Review the source-specific guide before importing. Settings, secrets, database values, or provider-specific services may require additional setup afterward.
From the prompt box, select the **plus** menu, then **Import an existing project** to open the import flow.
## Import or attach?
* **Import a Project** when you want to continue building from existing code, a design, or structured project work.
* **Upload a file** when a document, spreadsheet, image, or screenshot provides context for a question or task in the current Conversation.
For the second path, see [Upload and use files](/chat/upload-and-use-files).
