+### Importing the Generic Profile
+
+​To apply your newly created control panel in a Plone project, you'll need to manually import the GenericSetup profile associated with your project. Here's how you can do this:​
+
+#### Access the ZMI (Zope Management Interface)
+
+Navigate to your Plone site's URL and append /manage to access the ZMI. For example:​
+
+```bash
+http://localhost:8080/Plone/manage
+
+```
+
+#### Navigate to the Setup Tool
+
+In the ZMI, locate and click on portal_setup.​
+
+#### Import the Profile
+
+- Within portal_setup, go to the Import tab.
+- From the Profile dropdown menu, select your project's profile. This is typically named in the format:​
+```
+profile-your.projectname:default
+```
+- Click the Import All Steps button to apply the profile.​
+
+This process will register your control panel and any associated registry settings defined in your registry.xml and controlpanel.xml files.
+
 Your control panel should now appear in {guilabel}`Site Setup`.
