 The steps below use a few placeholder names:
- * '''<xps_proj_root>''': root of your existing XPS project. This is the folder containing your {{{system.xmp}}} and {{{system.mhs}}} files.
- * '''<pa_proj_diir>''': root of your new PlanAhead project. This folder should be empty before creating the PlanAhead project.
+ * {{{<src_xps_proj>}}}: root of your existing XPS project. This is the folder containing your {{{system.xmp}}} and {{{system.mhs}}} files.
+ * {{{<pa_proj_dir>}}}: root of your new PlanAhead project. This folder should be empty before creating the PlanAhead project.
  * '''PA_PROJ''': name of your new PlanAhead project

+ 1. You should now see a blank XPS project:

+ 1. Minimize the XPS window but do '''not''' close XPS
+
+At this point you have two XPS projects. The XPS project inside the PlanAhead project is blank and must be updated with the hardware design from your original XPS project.
+
+ 1. Navigate to {{{<pa_proj_dir>/PA_PROJ.srcs/sources_1/edk/xps_top}}}. This is the root of your new XPS project.
+ 1. From your source XPS project folder, copy the following into the new XPS project folder:
+  * The contents of the {{{pcores}}}, {{{drivers}}} and {{{sw_services}}} folders (if they exist)
+  * Any {{{data/*.prj}}} files, such as {{{data/DDR3_SODIMM_mig_saved.prj}}} in Mango reference designs
+  * Do '''not''' copy any UCF files from your old project. These will be handled below
+ 1. Copy and paste the contents of the old MHS file into the new MHS file
+  * Copy from {{{<src_xps_proj>/system.mhs}}}
+  * Paste into {{{<pa_proj_dir>/PA_PROJ.srcs/sources_1/edk/xps_top/xps_top.mhs}}}
+ 1. Save the modified {{{xps_top.mhs}}}, then close XPS.
+
+If XPS throws an error,  you probably forgot to copy cores/code from the old XPS project. Also double check that your edk_user_repository is up to date and that the edk_user_repository is in the Global Peripheral Repository Search Path in the XPS preferences (see [wiki:edk_user_repository for more]).
+
+At this point your PlanAhead project has one source, the XPS project. You must now add a constraints file to the PlanAhead Project.
+
+ 1. In the PlanAhead workspace Sources tab, right-click and select ''''Add Sources'''
+ 1. Select '''Add or Create Constraints''' then click Next
