However I even fail to import a single XML-file.
In all tutorials I´ve seen on YouTube a Navigator-window appears which should look something like this:

Thank you for your quick response.
I have tried but my menu looks different than yours and there is no transform
Any idea?
@cosmicyes , Right click on the second column and under transform mark it as XML, then you should get an option to expand
