To import your Notebooks from Concord Desktop 2.1, follow these steps:

    Note: You will need to know where your Concord files are stored on your computer. Here are the default locations for Mac and PC:
    MAC: Documents —> Concord Documents
    PC: My Documents —> Concord Documents

  7. A new “File Upload” window will open. You can drag-and-drop the .html files from the folder (noted above) to the dotted outline box where it says “Drop files here or click to upload,” or you can click in the dotted-outline box to navigate through the files on your computer and find your Concord Document folder. Once you have found your Concord Documents folder, select the files that end in .html from the folder which you want to import, and click “Open.”
    Note: To select multiple files, hold down the shift key as you click on the files you would like to upload. To quickly select all of the files within your folder, hold the shift key and click the first file in the folder and then the last file in the folder. All the files in between the first and last should also now be selected. You can also hold the Control key and click to select non-consecutive files.
