Importing a RAS asset is the process of unpacking and restoring the files to a local file or folder or to your workspace.
Within your local environment, you may want to save RAS assets to a file. The RAS asset in a local file is identical in structure to the RAS asset in a repository. The only difference is that you cannot use the search function to find a RAS asset that is saved to a directory.
Your imported file is restored according to the instructions in the RAS asset manifest file. However, there are some decisions that you, as the RAS asset consumer, must make. If there are any custom instructions for the import process, a preview of the manifest file is displayed in a browser window.
