# Import a Course

> Bring an Articulate Rise SCORM Export into Exec and rebuild it as a native course

If your training already lives in Articulate Rise, you can import it instead of rebuilding it by hand. On the new course screen, choose the **Import A Course** card, labeled **Articulate Rise SCORM Export (.zip)**, and upload your export.

## How the Import Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your SCORM export">
    Provide the Articulate Rise SCORM Export as a .zip file. Exec unzips it and reads the course structure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assets land in Knowledge Hub">
    The media and files inside the export are uploaded to a [Knowledge Hub](/knowledge-hub/overview) folder, so they are managed alongside the rest of your content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A build job creates the course">
    Once the assets are in place, a build job materializes the course in Exec: sections, pages, and blocks, ready to edit like any other course.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Import Job States

You can follow the import as it moves through its states:

| State               | Meaning                                                                    |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Awaiting Assets** | The export is unzipped and its assets are being uploaded to Knowledge Hub. |
| **Building**        | The build job is assembling the course from the imported content.          |
| **Done**            | The import finished and your course is ready.                              |
| **Failed**          | The build hit an error and did not complete.                               |
| **Expired**         | The import sat unfinished for too long and timed out.                      |
| **Cancelled**       | The import was discarded before it finished.                               |

## Resume or Discard an Unfinished Import

If you leave partway through, you do not lose your progress. An unfinished import can be **resumed** where it left off, or **discarded** if you would rather start over or build the course another way.

## After the Import

The imported course arrives as a draft. Review it in the editor, adjust anything that did not translate cleanly, and add Exec-native blocks like quizzes and roleplays before publishing. See [Build Sections and Pages](/courses/build-sections-and-pages).
