+<h3>This control panel is being redeveloped</h3>
+
+<p>Do not attempt to use any of these functions as they are in active development. 
+<ol>
+<li>Importing things in the wrong order will screw-up the database links and break things.
+<li>The export of logbooks in a standard HTML-like format is very much not working.
+</ol>
+<p>Today (Jan. 2022) we use the <a href="/handbook/troggle/trogimport.html">databaseReset program</a> to import from the master files. This is run on the server itself only by nerds who remotely log in to the server using ssh.
+
+<p>Before you even think about doing database imports, you should understand the implications on everyone else. See <a href="/handbook/troggle/trogindex.html">the Troggle documentation</a>. 
+<p>As soon as you can cope, you should read the source code for 
+<a href="http://expo.survex.com/repositories/troggle/.git/tree/databaseReset.py">databaseReset</a> to see what it does, as the details are not documented anywhere else yet. But at least the code is quite well commented.
+
+<p>There is currently no feedback here when an import failure occurs - even a catastrophic one. You can see the list of parsing errors on the most recent imports on the <a href="/dataissues">Data Issues</a> page.
