# Getting Started

To get started you will need to first launch the Copia Import Tool.  During its use you will have multiple options/operations to choose from, which are covered in the following sections.

## Launching the Copia Import Tool

You can access the Copia Import Tool via the Copia Desktop App.  It can be found under the Help menu, labeled Copia Import Tool.  Click this option to be taken to the directory containing the tool.  You can then double-click the Copia-Import-Tool.exe to start the operation.

On the initial screen, you will need to update your Copia Endpoint URL (the URL of your Copia Server).  You should leave the default of `https://app.copia.io`, unless you are running a self-hosted Copia server.  Press "Continue" to proceed to the next step.

The *Use custom OAuth credentials (advanced)* checkbox should not be checked, unless instructed to do so by your Copia representative.
{% endhint %}

Once connected, the tool will ask you to login.  Press the button to continue.

On the next screen, you will have the option to either *Import Assets into Copia* or *Rollback a Previous Import*.  Since we need to import assets, we would select the option to *Import Assets into Copia.*
