# Import Target File Version

`POST /projects/{projectId}/target-files/{targetFileId}/versions/imports`

Generates an asynchronous import operation. Use [Poll Target File Version Import endpoint](#/operations/PollTargetFileVersionImport) to poll until the import is completed. Only `sdlxliff` files can be imported.

Import should be used when a file is downloaded as an `sdlxliff`, processed and then, replaced. 
The import operation triggers internally the update of the [BCM](../../BCM/BCM.NET_client_API.html) file associated with the imported file. It should mostly be used for offline work.

Consider the [file and project size limit](https://docs.rws.com/791595/815967/trados-enterprise---accelerate/file-and-project-size-limit) when uploading files.
