How do I purchase the latest Elements beta version that runs locally on my machine? Thanks, JVS ---

Hi Dan, I purchased and downloaded Elements. The installation was clean, and the example page loads. However, I can find no way to import existing RW Classic sites. Importing RW Classic files is critical for me. Please advise. JVS ---

Because Elements is an entirely new system it can’t import Classic projects. We have an [FAQ covering this and more here](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-faq). If you want to stick with Classic, [drop me an email](https://support@realmacsoftware.com) and I can issue you a refund. ---

Hi Dan, Don’t worry about the refund. Let me know when a feature to import Classic files is ready. Like I am sure all of your customers, I have a huge investment in Classic. Keep up the good work, Be safe and sane. The second one is hard these days over here in the colonies. JVS ---

This makes all the difference when it comes to using multiple computers or working with teams on a specific project! [Previous page](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/dev-diary-ep35-elements-cloud/44600.md?page=1)
