# Importing a Pipeline

Pre-built pipelines are available for download from the Partek website. Please note, we are continually updating and improving our collection of pre-built pipelines. If you have any suggestions for improving any of the pre-built pipelines or suggestions for additional pipelines, please contact Partek technical support (<support@partek.com>). In addition, pipelines can be imported from your local machine.
