This question arose suddenly as I was implementing some new features in my app. Maybe I`m just overthinking this one, so I hope you can help me make things clearer =)

**The question**  

When user takes data from some object and copies\imports it to currently edited object of the same type, what icons and wording suits better: `copy from` or `import`? Does it even matter?

**Context and question explained**  

I`ll try to explain this using made up example (original context is harder to explain).  

Say we have several school classes with some students in each one. And we have an app that allows us to manage todays grades of the students, one class at a time, for example showing us a grid with a row for each student and column for each subject, with todays grades in the cells.  

And by some strange reason we have a requirement that grades from one class can be copied\imported to other class, and for that we have a button in toolbar that shows a wizard with following steps:  

1) Select other class;  

2) Link each student from that other class to each student of currently edited class, one to one, leaving out leftover if any class is bigger;  

3) Copy\import grades using provided links;

Subjects are the same for every class, so that should be enough for our needs. In this example the question would be which wording, tooltips and icons to use: `import grades from other class` or `copy grades from other class`.

**So...**  

Initially I thought about it as importing, because copying usually means that current object is used as source. But still this operation *is* copying. So in the end I`m just a bit confused about difference between copying and importing, and whether there`s really a difference in my context and should I really care.
