File and path	The .uafx file to import into the database. Click the Browse button to open a window where users can navigate to and select the required .uafx file to import.
Do not check release version	Whether to import pages that were in a previous release. If not selected, users are prevented from importing if the release version differs from the current version in Screen Manager.
Allow re-importing of builds that have previously been imported	Whether builds that have previously been imported can be re-imported.
Import entity as copy of original	Whether to clone the page on import.
