Hello!

I need a hint, on the Kutools Plus tab in the Import/Export section I can’t find the Select image to import command. How can I access this command?

Hello, Artem,

In our Import/Export feature list, we have both Import Pictures and Match Import Pictures features, which can help you to insert multiple pictures. Which one do you need?
