# Importing Schema using UI

#### **1. Log in as Standard Registry**

* Only a **Standard Registry (SR)** can import schemas.
* Sign in to Guardian with your SR account.

#### **2. Go to the Schema Section**

* From the left navigation panel, click **Manage** **Schemas**.
* You’ll see a list of **System Schemas** (default ones) and any **Custom Schemas** created.

#### **3. Select “Import Schema”**

* Click the **Import Schema** button (usually in the top-right corner).

#### **4. Choose Import Source**

Guardian allows multiple ways to import schemas:

1. **From File (.json)**
   * Select Upload File.
   * Browse and upload a schema JSON file (must follow JSON Schema format).
2. **From IPFS / DID / URL**
   * Paste the schema IPFS CID, DID reference, or a public URL.
   * Guardian fetches the schema definition from that source.
3. **From Excel**
   * Select .xl file.
   * Browse and upload excel file.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note:

1. Files with **.schema** extension are only accepted. These files are in zip format, i.e. they are zip archives of the text file.
2. Initially when the Schema is created/imported, it will be in draft status.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guardian.hedera.com/docs/develop/guardian/standard-registry/schemas/importing-schema-using-ui.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
