# Importar configuraciones a Mapeo Desktop
To start using a custom configuration, you'll need to import the new configuration file into Mapeo Desktop. For more on configurations, see [Configuraciones personalizadas](/espanol/guia-de-referencia-completa/customization-options/custom-configurations.md).
## Locate the configuration file
Download or copy the custom configuration file (eg. `example_project.mapeosettings`) onto your computer. Note which folder the file was saved in.
{% hint style="info" %}
For sending configuration files (`.mapeosettings`) between computers that have an
internet connection, we recommend using **email** or the 
**Telegram Desktop** app, as other messaging applications have problems with this file format. You can also share a link to a 
**Drive** directory where the configuration is located.
If you have 
no internet connection, you can copy the file from a computer using a 
**USB drive** or send the file via 
**Bluetooth**. For more on these methods, see: [Quiero compartir archivos entre dispositivos](/espanol/guia-de-referencia-completa/troubleshooting/sharing-files-between-devices.md).
{% endhint %}
## Import the configuration
1. Open 
**Mapeo Desktop.**
2. On the **Top menu** bar, click **File** and select **Import Configuration**.
3. In the pop-up window, navigate to the folder on the computer where you saved the configuration file (`.mapeosettings`) you want to import. Click on the file, then click **Open**. You may see a white screen for a few seconds while the configuration changes.
