# Import preview

The Import Preview helps you see the potential import impact before it happens

The **Import Preview** enables you to see how a project will be impacted before an import is completed:
![import-preview](https://tray.ai/documentation/images/platform/enterprise-core/lifecycle-management/pre-import-checks/import-preview/1hvaabB5WPRUDGldW2z1QQ_import-preview.png)
At the top, the preview shows details about the **source project** - its name, version, and ID.

Below that, each asset type in the project is listed as its own collapsible section, with a summary of the pending changes on the right of each section header (for example, "3 updated", "2 updated, 2 deleted", or "No changes"):

* **Workflows**
* **Config items**
* **Data tables**
* **Vector tables**
* **APIM operations**
* **Agents**

Expand a section to see the individual items and their status - **Created**, **Updated**, or **Deleted**. For an updated item, the preview shows a side-by-side comparison of the current values against the incoming values, so you can see exactly what will change - for example, a renamed vector table showing its old and new name alongside its dimensions and metric.

As with other assets, the preview reflects changes to asset **structure**, not stored data. See [What's included when assets move](https://tray.ai/documentation/platform/enterprise-core/lifecycle-management/import-export#whats-included-when-assets-move) for details.

For data tables and vector tables, a **Deleted** status in the preview means the table (or, for data tables, individual columns) will be **archived** in the target rather than permanently removed, so your stored data is preserved. See [Archiving data tables and vector tables](https://tray.ai/documentation/platform/enterprise-core/lifecycle-management/import-export#archiving-data-tables-and-vector-tables).

If you're working with **embedded solutions**, the preview will show how the import **will affect your current draft solution:**

It will tell you if any solution slots will change and give you detailed information about any **breaking or non-breaking changes**, why the changes are happening and what actions are needed (if any).
This helps you avoid unwanted surprises when making updates.
Please see our documentation on [Change management (Embedded)](https://tray.ai/documentation/platform/enterprise-core/lifecycle-management/embedded-release-management/change-management) for more information on breaking changes and how to manage rollout to your End Users.
