# Import & Export

This page is for privately sharing files created from SA.

## Importing Content to SA

If you are importing content that another SA user is providing, you can do this simply by clicking "Select Import", on the Import & Export page. This will open up a file browser which will allow you to select any zip file.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Only zip files that were EXPORTED via SA will be able to be used with the Select File Import option.

If you are trying to create avatars with sprite-sheets please visit [here](/stream-avatars/content-creating/creating-avatars.md) instead.
