# Can I also import existing data into a report?

## You can import data from an existing report using an API connector.

 When building a report, [Dé Opleverapp](https://deopleverapp.nl/)/ Incontrol offers several Import elements. With these, it's possible to import data from a previously completed report, an external data source, or API connector into your report, thus partially filling in your form for you. This results in significant time savings for you. To read about some of the import methods that are available see the following articles:
