Imported items are independent copies. Editing them does not affect the original preset. **Adding New Unit Processes from a PresetFrom the flow diagram:** 1. From the node diagram buttons, click on the **Add unit process** button 2. Search or filter by owner in the browse modal 3. Select one or more presets 4. Click **Add** **![add-upr-preset-diagram](https://xycle.minviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/add-upr-preset-diagram.gif?width=670&height=342&name=add-upr-preset-diagram.gif)** **From the Tree Level UPRs:** 1. From the tree level UPRs sidebar, open the **Add unit process** dropdown 2. Select **Add from UPR Preset** 3. Search or filter by owner in the browse modal 4. Select one or more presets 5. Click **Add** **![add-from-upr-preset-button](https://xycle.minviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/add-from-upr-preset-button.gif?width=670&height=343&name=add-from-upr-preset-button.gif)** Each selected preset creates a new unit process populated with its inventory items. You can also use the UPR Preset button in the flow diagram toolbar. **Populating an Existing Unit Process** Click the three-dot menu on a unit process in the tree level UPRs sidebar or on a node in the flow diagram 1. Click the three-dot menu on a unit process in the tree level UPRs sidebar or on a node in the flow diagram 2. Select **Populate from UPR Preset** 3. Select one or more presets 4. Click **Populate** Preset rows are appended after your existing rows. Nothing already in the unit process is changed or reordered. ![populate-upr-tree-view](https://xycle.minviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/populate-upr-tree-view.gif?width=670&height=341&name=populate-upr-tree-view.gif) This is especially useful when combining items from multiple presets. For example, merging a "Cathode Inputs" preset with a "Shared Transport" preset. **How Parameters Are Handled** Preset parameters are copied as project-level parameters on import. If a parameter name already exists in your project, the existing value is kept and the preset parameter is skipped. A toast notification confirms how many items were copied and lists any skipped parameters. ![parameter-exists](https://xycle.minviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/parameter-exists.jpg?width=670&height=343&name=parameter-exists.jpg) **Troubleshooting** - **I imported the same preset twice and now have duplicate rows.**Each import appends rows independently. Check your inventory before re-importing. - **I want to combine multiple presets into one unit process.** Use **Populate from UPR Preset** on the same unit process multiple times. Each set of rows is appended in order. **Next Steps** To learn more about building your LCA model, see ["Step 1: How to Build Your First Model".](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/build-your-first-model-in-xycle?hsLang=en-gb)       - [Getting Started](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/getting-started?hsLang=en-gb) - [Supplier Onboarding](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/supplier-onboarding?hsLang=en-gb) - [Integrations & Data](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/integrations-data?hsLang=en-gb#main-content) - [Databases](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/integrations-data?hsLang=en-gb#databases) - [Software Tools](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/integrations-data?hsLang=en-gb#software-tools) - [XYCLE How-Tos](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/xycle-how-tos?hsLang=en-gb) - [LCA Learning Hub](https://xycle.minviro.com/support/lca-learning-hub?hsLang=en-gb) [![Powered By\_Lockup\_XYCLE\_Minviro-11 (2)-1](https://xycle.minviro.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Powered%20By_Lockup_XYCLE_Minviro-11%20(2)-1.png?width=200&height=80&name=Powered%20By_Lockup_XYCLE_Minviro-11%20(2)-1.png "Powered By_Lockup_XYCLE_Minviro-11 (2)-1")](http://www.minviro.com) Copyright © 2025 Minviro, Ltd.
