# Resolving Name Conflicts

Two components with the same name are not allowed to exist in the same interface (the same `.gui` file). The Import Resolution dialog box helps you change any conflicting names in the incoming interface so that all names are unique once the imported interface is merged with the current interface.

The Import Resolution dialog box is automatically activated when a file you are trying to import (or merge) contains one or more components with names that are the same as ones already in your GUI.

Use the Back and Next buttons to cycle through all of the components that have conflicting names. For each conflict you have GUI builder automatically generates a unique name for you, or you can specify a unique name yourself.
