# Manage Linked Projects

In the [**Data Connections overview**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-data-connections-overview?hsLang=en) page, there are two ways to **Manage the Linked Projects**:

- Import another Project to be used as a Linked Project in the Project  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-24-2025-04-13-58-6941-PM.png?width=223&height=110&name=image-png-Apr-24-2025-04-13-58-6941-PM.png)
- Export the Project to be used as a Linked Project in another Project  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-24-2025-04-14-06-8508-PM.png?width=222&height=110&name=image-png-Apr-24-2025-04-14-06-8508-PM.png)

Depending on your **license**, you may have **no access to the Linked Project feature**.

If this is the case, you will not see the Import and Export options in the left menu.

### Import

The **Import** page displays all Imported Projects and their respective Versions. To view the Versions within an Imported Project, expand that Imported Project.

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2025-12-07-18-4452-PM.png?width=670&height=199&name=image-png-Sep-11-2025-12-07-18-4452-PM.png)

If an Import version was created from a **Data Marketplace Data Product,** andthat Data Product contains a **new version of the Data Contract**, the message **Update available** appears next to the Import:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2025-02-14-23-2595-PM.png?width=670&height=95&name=image-png-Sep-11-2025-02-14-23-2595-PM.png)

If an Import version was created from a **Data Marketplace Data Product,** andthe **Data Contract version used in the Import version is marked as obsolete** in the Data product, the tag **Obsolete** appears near the Import version.
