Until now, you could drop a file only on the home page to start an import. Now you can drop it on any page of Altera, so you don't have to go back to the home page first.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Drop anywhere** - drag a spreadsheet onto any page of Altera, and the import page opens when the upload is done (see [Uploading a file](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490211-file-upload-requirements#uploading-a-file)).

### ⚠️ Heads-up

- **Unsaved changes** - on a page with unsaved changes, save or discard them before you drop a file.
