+# Importing Processes
+
+To avoid redundancy and make complex *Business Process Configurations* easier
+to maintain it is possible to import processes from other configurations.
+
+In order to be able to import a process create a root node first. You cannot
+import processes into the root level.

+
+## Importing a Process
+
+Once the related configuration form is open, choose `Existing Process` and wait
+for the form to refresh.

+
+### Choose Configuration
+
+You can now choose the configuration to import processes from. Or simply hit
+`Next` to just utilize a process from the current configuration.

+
+## Navigation with Imported Processes
+
+### Seamless Breadcrumbs
+
+You may have already noticed that the breadcrumbs integrate the hierarchy
+of the imported process. Once you navigate further the actions below the
+breadcrumbs change and don't permit to unlock editing.
+

+
+To change imported processes you need to open them in their original
+configuration first. To do so click on the arrow to the right which is
+displayed in a tile's action urls in the upper left. While in tree view
+these can be found at the very right of an process' row.
