# Import Implicit Body

## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Import Implicit Body** block imports a \*.implicit file from a designated path.

**Common uses:**

* Import an Implicit Body saved from any nTop workflow to use in your current workflow.
* Validate/Inspect the file before sending it to an implicit interop partner.
* Share an Implicit Body designed in nTop, removing your IP-containing nTop notebooks.

**Tips:**

* If you encounter an error when opening a \*.implicit file, open its original nTop file in nTop 5.0 and export a new \*.implicit file.
* Ensure you are importing an implicit version that is compatible with your nTop version.
  * Implicit files exported from versions older than nTop 5.0 will not be importable in nTop 5.0 and later.
  * Implicit files exported from nTop 5.0 and later will not be importable by nTop versions older than nTop 5.0
  * Implicit files exported from nTop 5.0 and later will not be importable by versions of nTop Plugin for EOSPRINT older than version 1.0.0.
