Partial Show Read is a function used to import elements from one show into a different show.

The setup of the two shows are compared and you can choose what setup is wanted or a mix can be chosen.

After the comparison - called initialization - then access is granted to a new menu where different wanted elements can be chosen for import.

The actual process is more complex, but this is the idea. Please read the [Partial Show Read](/grandma2/key_psr/) chapters to learn more about it.
