# What happens if map targets are inactive upon import?

If you import an existing map and some of the map targets contain errors, e.g. if some of the concepts are inactive, or not available in the selected Edition, the red flag will show for the involved map records (see image below).

Within the authoring task, you can see, in the Target properties section, that the concept is inactive.

## **Inactive Replacements**

1\. Within an authoring task, when editing a map record with an inactive target, click on the red triangle find suggested replacements. This feature uses the historical associations.

2\. The suggested replacements are added to the "Inexact" section, for author consideration. If no suggestions are added to the "Inexact" section that means no historical associations were available and the author must find one manually instead. The existing inactive map target should be removed. Any suggested replacements can be dragged to the appropriate relationship type (Equivalent, Broader, Narrower).
