# CopyImportProfile

> Reuse hot folder import profiles across ABBYY FlexiCapture projects with the CopyImportProfile command in FCAdminTools, including parameters and handling.

When creating a new project, you can reuse import profiles created in another project. This will save time and prevent configuration errors. You can use the `CopyImportProfile` command to copy import profiles specified for hot folders from one project to another.

<Note>
  Import profiles involving scanners are shared by all the projects on a given machine and will not be copied.

| `/Source`       | Required | The source project containing the import profile that you want to copy. You can specify either the full path to a local project or the path to a project stored on a server.                            |
| `/Target`       | Required | The target project where you want to copy the import profile. You can specify either the full path to a local project or the path to a project stored on a server.                                      |
| `/Name`         | Optional | The name of the import profile that you want to copy. If an import profile with this name already exists, it is overwritten. If no import profile is specified, all the import profiles are copied.     |

Some image import parameters are project-dependent and have to be processed separately. The `CopyImportProfile` command will process the following hot folder parameters:
