There are two import options:

- Import and Replace: This will remove any existing criteria from the rubric and add rows for the new criteria that are imported.
This feature also adds an export criteria button next to the "Import Details" button. This will allow the user to export the current criteria in the edit view to a tab separated values file that is in the proper format for importing data. This is useful if a user has a rubric started already and is looking to add more criteria and wants to organize the rubric order all at once, especially when working with outcomes. It can also be used to allow the user to get the data from one rubric to use as a starting template for a new rubric and/or to 'make a copy'.
