 * Hi [@georgeeee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/georgeeee/),
 * The option is currently only visible in the pro version, but you can still make
   it run in Lite. Follow these steps:
 * 1. Find a file named dup-installer/ctrls/ctrl.s2.base.php and open in a text 
   editor
    2. Comment out the line where you see $_POST[‘dbaction’] = … it should
   be at the top of the file. 3. Add this line right below it $_POST[‘dbaction’]
   = ‘manual’; 4. For the action on Step 2 choose ‘Connect and Remove All Data’
 * That should skip the import routine. If you still have issues just submit a help
   ticket on our website snapcreek.com/ticket and we can help you out.
 * Cheers~
