What is the Best Practice for importing an existing application and view its objects in Designer ?
Step 1) Download the application in zip file and drop it in Appian Designer after clicking on "Import"Step 2) Checkbox appears that says "....import customisation file......"I see that there is a checkbox for import customisation file, when do I check this ? Kindly share the steps for application import for existing zip file, assuming it is downloaded from Appian AppMarket

I think that this part of the documentation should get you started.
docs.appian.com/.../prepare-deployment-packages.html
please refer this link you should now about when you check import customisation file checkbox when you import a zip file.Link -docs.appian.com/.../Managing_Import_Customization_Files.html
moritizdp are you clear you doubt for referring this documents link?
Aditya Padyal seems this checkbox is used for variables that have different values across environments, but it does not explain how I can use its objects as an imported application
Thats simple. If the import complains about a missing customization file, you need to provide one. Downloads from the app market contain this file if needed.
Stefan_H it seems that most of downloads require customisation file and if there is no import customisation file, would the import process fail ?
Yes
Moritzdp i guess you clear your doubt now and i also got some points related to import customization file throughout this discussion.
