# Importing local projects

In Talend Studio, you can import one or more projects you already created with previous releases of Talend Studio.

## About this task

Information noteNote:

A digital signature is added to each project item when it is saved in Talend Studio. When importing a project or project items, Talend Studio validates the signatures and rejects items with an invalid signature. This is a security measure to prevent accidental or malicious modification of project items.

You can import a project or project items exported from Talend Studio 6.0 and greater before the expiration date of a 90-day grace period from the first installation of Talend Studio or before the date set in the migration token, whichever comes later. Upon successful import, all imported items are signed.

For more information on setting a migration token, see [Talend Installation Guide](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/installation-guide-linux).
