== 4. Merge ==
As described in [[Smart_Studio#Merging_Worksheets|this article]], merging is the process of combining the situation of a current worksheet with what is already there in the Environment or the Project. By default, the already existing models are extended by new aspects coming from the current worksheet, with the existing models "winning" in case of a conflict. For example, if you are importing a set of MetaClasses where some of them are new and others are already in your Environment or Project, the new MetaClasses are added and the existing ones aren't changed except for new meta properties, which are added. This is especially useful if you have already changed the inheritance structure of previously imported MetaClasses and don't want to override it with the new import.

== 5. Save ==
When you're sure the current state of the worksheet is what you want, it can be saved either to the Environment or the Project, or to both.

== 6. Create a Handshake file ==
Using the context menu (right-click on the worksheet), you can generate a Comos-UBIK Handshake file. It contains a mapping of the UBIK IDs to the Comos IDs, and can be used to update the Comos-UBIK Interface.
