# Import and export polygons

## Import and export your custom polygons to be able to use them with other applications

### Import

Import your own [custom polygons](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/polygons?hsLang=en#my-sets) into SiteZeus to view or customize them.

![](https://support.sitezeus.com/hubfs/image-png-Nov-11-2022-11-02-55-6224-PM.png)

To use the Importer,

1. Turn on *Polygons*
2. Press *Import / Export*
3. Choose a set to import to or [create a new set](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/polygons?hsLang=en#create-new-set).
4. You can choose to add your imported shapes onto a set or replace the whole set.
5. You can import two types of files: *GeoJSON* or *Shapefile*.  
     1. **GeoJSON** - This file will have to have a **.geojson** file extension.   
        [Download a sample](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/import-and-export-polygons#test)
     2. **Shapefile** - There are two files required for this type. They will both have to be uploaded at the same time. 
            - A file with the **.shp** extension  
              [Download a sample](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/import-and-export-polygons#test)
            - A file with the **.dbf** extension  
              [Download a sample](https://support.sitezeus.com/en/import-and-export-polygons#test)
6. Press *Import* to begin importing your valid file type.
7. If there is a problem with the upload or import, you will receive an alert letting you download the errors.

**Tip**: For all three of these file types, you will need an external application to edit them. [QGIS](https://www.qgis.org/en/site/) or [Geoman editor](https://geoman.io/geojson-editor) are a couple free options.

### Export

To export shapes that you have previously imported as sets into the system or that you have drawn as new shapes within the platform:

1. Turn on *Territories*
2. Select *Import/Export*
3. Select *Export*
4. Choose a *set* from the list that you wish to Export
5. Select the *shape format* that you wish to export it as
6. Wait for the *download* to generate and then click the download option in the popup to access the files
