Note: You must be on AO version 5.0.1 or later due to changes in import/export folders.

1. Navigate to this git site: https://github.com/cisco/ActionOrchestratorContent
   
   
2. If you don't have a git user account you need to create one.
   
   
3. Open Action Orchestrator and navigate to the Admin page and then click on Git Repositories link, as shown in the image.
   
   
4. Click on NEW GIT REPOSITORY.
   
   
5. Give the repo a display name.
   
   
6. Under Default Account Keys, click on NEW and choose Git Password-Based Credentials.
   
   
7. Give the Account Key a display name and then put in the git user and password created in step #2 (if already exists you do not need to create one).
   
   
8. For protocol, click on HTTPS.
   
   
9. For REST API REPO TYPE, select GITHUB.
   
   
10. In the REST API REPO input put in api.github.com/repos/cisco/ActionOrchestratorContent.
    
    
11. Leave branch as main.
12. You will need to put in a code-path depending on what you wish to use. If you wish to get the Atomic Adapters(like ACI, UCSD, Kubernetes, etc) you should put the code path as /atomic-actions. If you want to get the workflow examples you should put the code path as /workflow-examples. If you want both you will need to create 2 separate git connections.
    
    
13. Click Submit to create the repo connection.
    
    
14. Next import the atomic adapters.
    
    
15. Click the Workflow area.
    
    
16. Click IMPORT.
    
    
17. Select the GIT REPO just created.
    
    
18. Then select the appropriate FILENAME (atomic adapter) to import and select the version wanted.
    
    
19. Check the box which says IMPORT AS NEW WORKFLOW(CLONE).
    
    
20. Click on IMPORT.
    
    
21. The workflow imports and then is available for use in the toolbox under Activities.

Note: The workflow is imported under the ATOMIC WORKFLOW heading in the Workflow area.
