# Importing Data From Study Tracker

Have a [Study Tracker](https://studytracker.io/) instance you would like to migrate your data from? Moving your data and resuming work in Lab Atlas is easy. 

{% hint style="success" %}
For best results, try importing your Study Tracker data into a fresh Lab Atlas organization. This will reduce the likelihood of duplications or naming conflicts between existing records.
{% endhint %}

### Exporting your data from Study Tracker

{% hint style="info" %}
Data export is only supported in Study Tracker version 1.0 or later.
{% endhint %}

Exporting data from Study Tracker requires a user with admin privileges. Log in to your instance, go to the admin dashboard, and select 'Data Export' from the menu. Click the 'Start Export' button to begin the process. It shouldn't take longer than a minute or two, after which a ZIP file will be downloaded in your browser containing the full export.

### Importing your Study Tracker Data into Lab Atlas

Once you have your Study Tracker export in ZIP file format, log in to your Lab Atlas organization and go to the Organization Setting dashboard. Open up the Utilities menu and select 'Study Tracker Import'. Click 'New Import', select the ZIP file you exported from Study Tracker, then click submit.&#x20;

Depending on the size of your Study Tracker history, the import process can take upwards of an hour to complete. The import takes place asynchronously in the background, but it is recommended to wait for the import to complete before performing any additional actions in Lab Atlas. If you naviaget away from the import page, the process will continue, but you will no longer see the progress or be notified when it completes.

Once the import completes, proceed to the next section of this document to take the required steps before resuming your work in Lab Atlas. If the import results in an error, click the link in the error notification to send an email to our support teams so that we can help troubleshoot the issue.

### After the import

After the import completes, there are a few things you will need to do before you can resume working in Lab Atlas:

#### Re-invite Users

The Study Tracker import process will add all of the users from your old instance to Lab Atlas, including all of their project associations & history, but they will not be able to log until they have a Lab Atlas account created for them. This can be accomplished through the [admin dashboard's Users page.](/managing-your-organization/managing-users.md#users) Click on the context menu next to each user you would like to invite to Lab Atlas and click 'Re-Invite User'. They should receive an email shortly inviting them to create an account, if they do not have one, or join your organization if they already have an account.

#### Update Integration Credentials

All of your third-party integrations from Study Tracker will be transferred into Lab Atlas and configured, but their credentials will need to be provided again in order to validate & encrypt them. For each integration, do the following:

* Go to the [Integrations page of the admin dashboard](/managing-your-organization/third-party-connectors.md)
* Select the integration to update
* Click the 'Actions' button and select 'Edit Registration'
* Enter the required credentials in the pop-up form and then submit.
