=== Resolve Import Errors
experimental[This functionality is *experimental* and may be changed or removed completely in a future release.]
The resolve import errors API enables you to resolve errors given by the import API by either overwriting specific saved objects or changing references to a newly created object.
Note: You cannot access this endpoint via the Console in Kibana.
==== Request
`POST /api/saved_objects/_resolve_import_errors`
==== Request body
The request body must be of type multipart/form-data.
`file`::
(ndjson) The same new line delimited JSON objects given to the import API.
`overwrites` (optional)::
(array) A list of `type` and `id` objects allowed to be overwritten on import.
`replaceReferences` (optional)::
(array) A list of `type`, `from` and `to` used to change imported saved object references to.
`skips` (optional)::
(array) A list of `type` and `id` objects to skip importing.
==== Response body
The response body will have a top level `success` property that indicates
if the import was successful or not as well as a `successCount` indicating how many records are successfully resolved.
In the scenario the import wasn't successful a top level `errors` array will contain the objects that failed to import.
==== Examples
The following example resolves errors for an index pattern and dashboard but indicates to skip the index pattern.
This will cause the index pattern to not be in the system and the dashboard to overwrite the existing saved object.
