# Adding Previous Experience
If you don't need to import every individual flight — just your totals — use the **Previous Experience** tool. This lets you enter total hours by aircraft type (for example, 1,200 hours on B738), which are then included in your Dashboard totals and PDF exports.
This is a good option if you're starting fresh in Wader and only need your historical totals reflected, without full flight-by-flight detail.
## How to add previous experience
1. Go to **More → Previous Experience** (or access it from the import section).
2. Tap the **+** button to add an aircraft type.
3. Enter the aircraft ICAO type code and your total hours for that type.
4. Save — the hours will immediately appear in your totals.

## Notes
* Previous experience can be included or excluded when exporting your logbook. Toggle this option in the export settings before generating your PDF.
* Hours entered here appear in the Dashboard and PDF totals but are not individual flights — they won't show up in the Logbook list view.
