7070You start the import yourself from **Settings**, whenever you are ready. If Claude Desktop's home screen shows a **Pick up where you left off in Claude for Government Web** banner, its **Start import** button takes you to the **Import & export** page in **Settings**. If you click **Skip for now** or close the banner, it can come back a few days later, until you run the import or have skipped it a few times. Claude Desktop versions earlier than 2.16120.0 hide the banner permanently after one skip.
