# Import with network scan

***Import with network scan*** allows you to perform a network scan based on a predefined range of IP addresses to find sessions to import. It can be accessed via the ***File*** – ***Import*** menu or by right-clicking in the navigation pane and selecting ***Import***.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
Specify a scan range, then, once the scan is completed, select the sessions you wish to import (by default, all sessions are selected) and click ***OK*** to import the sessions in your workspace.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you wish to review every session one by one as they are imported, you can check the ***Edit imported entry*** option. However, this is not recommended for a large number of sessions.
{% endhint %}
