# 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).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snomed.org/snomed-ct-user-guides/snap2snomed-user-guide/faqs/what-happens-if-map-targets-are-inactive-upon-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
