Importing a Probe into the Probekit Registry

A probe that has been exported by another Probekit user can be imported into your Probekit registry, where it can be selected and applied with one or more profiling sets.

To import a probe into the Probekit registry:

  1. In the Package Explorer, right-click any open project and select Import... from the pop-up menu. An open project is only necessary to enable importing, no probe files will be imported into the project.
  2. In the Import dialog box, select Probe and then click Next>.
  3. In the From file field, type the name of the .probekit file you want to import, or click Browse... to locate the file.
  4. Select whether to overwrite without warning any registry information that may already exist for the probe. A probe's id and version properties are used to determine whether or not pre-existing information is about to be overwritten.
  5. Click Finish. The imported probe appears in the Probekit registry.
