## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I modify the agent after importing?">
    Yes, absolutely. Once imported, the agent is fully yours to customize:

    * Modify prompts, instructions, and configurations
    * Add or remove tools and integrations
    * Adjust variables and settings
    * Customize for your specific use case

    Your changes don't affect the original agent. Each import creates an independent copy.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did my import fail?">
    Common causes and solutions:

    **Invalid File Format:**

    * Ensure the file is a valid JSON export from Airia
    * File may have been corrupted during transfer

    **Version Incompatibility:**

    * Your platform version may not support all features
    * Update your platform or contact the sharer for compatibility
