Importing Bigfix Fixlets

This section explains how users can import reusable and out of the box fixlets on a Bigfix instance. It provides steps on how to navigate to the location where the fixlet file is saved, select the file, and start the import process. The fixlets are available along with the BigFix Runbook AI package in a specific location, and once imported, they can be validated under a custom site in the Bigfix console.
