# Import Prebuilt Stack

Prebuilt stacks provide a structured content environment with predefined [content types](/docs/headless-cms/about-content-types), [entries](/docs/headless-cms/about-entries), and [assets](/docs/headless-cms/about-assets), enabling you to set up projects quickly without starting from scratch.

**Note:** Only the Organization [Admins](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#admin) and the [Owner](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#owner) can install a prebuilt stack.

To import a prebuilt [stack](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/headless-cms/about-stack), log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/) and perform the following steps:

1.  Navigate to the Organization where you want to import the stack.
2.  Click the **\+ New Stack** button in the top right corner and select **Use Prebuilt**.

3.  In the **Add Stack** modal, hover over the stack you want to import and click the **Import** button.

4.  Give a name for the stack and click **Import Sample**. You can view the import log details.

After importing the stack, you can deploy it directly using [Vercel](https://vercel.com/new?teamSlug=aravindhs-projects-b309cc5c). Alternatively, you can customize your stack and deploy it using [Launch](/docs/launch).

**Note:** You can also [import prebuilt stacks from the Marketplace](/docs/marketplace/installing-a-starter).
