.. _Import_ImportFromSharePointTermStore:

Import from SharePoint Term Store
=================================

This feature is available from the :ref:`AssetOperationsButton` of Taxonomy asset collections when SharePoint
integration has been configured.
Its purpose is to connect directly to a Sharepoint installation and import the stored terms
it finds into the taxonomy.

Once selected from the list of importers, TQ Data Foundation automatically uses the pre-configured
Sharepoint connector.
The user is then prompted to select a Term Set found in Sharepoint to import, and to then click
Continue.

The importer will then import the Term Set and populate a Data Foundation model reflecting the Term Store concepts.

If the Term Set was previously imported, the newly imported model will be merged with the existing one.
If a new, clean imported set of data is preferred, then delete the Term Set from the collection before re-importing it.
