Hello All ,

I am trying to import the saved objects from 6.8.4 to 7.6.1 . When i try to import the .json file of saved objects , it gives me error . So i see it requires NDJSON format. Kindly help out please.

```
Support for JSON files is going away

Use our updated export to generate NDJSON files, and you'll be all set.

```

Thanks and Regards  
Saravana S

This is not an error, it's just a warning that importing the export format of 6.x is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. For 7.x it will definitely stay around, so you should import all your existing 6.x export files and re-export them again if you want to file them away outside of Kibana.

To import 6.x files, just press the "Import" button in the bottom right when the warning pops up.

Can you see any errors in the JavaScript console in the browser developer tools?
