Hi all,

I have some previously exported Histories saved as files. I want to import them to Galaxy but I can't work out how. I suspect I'm missing something basic! 

When I go to the History panel drop-down menu and select 'Export to File', I get a downloaded tar.gz file.
When I select 'Import from File', I get a text box that asks me for the Archived History URL. But, I don't have a URL - I have a file on my local machine which I got by exporting as above. 

I have been able to import Histories directly from running Galaxy instances, by the way, I just can't work out how to do it from a file. Since it's possible to export them to a file in the first place, I am guessing that there's a way to import them too?

I noticed that the forms for importing Histories and importing Workflows (.../workflow/import_workflow) are different in that the Workflows version explicitly asks for either a URL or for a local file. So, I have been able to successfully import Workflows from json files, but am confused about Histories.

Thanks for any help!

Clare
