There are a few things you can do to make sure this process will go smoother.
First, make sure the individuals working in their own projects are creating items with their own unique ID’s. This way, you won’t have ID conflicts when trying to import.
To do this, in their own projects, have each person create a package for the items that will eventually be imported. Right-click that package and select Save in Separate File. When prompted, select a Staring ID or prefix to make sure the items they create will have unique ID’s across all projects.
Second, when it comes time to import, select File / Import Package File and browse to the various packages that the individual team members created. This will pull their work into the main project.
Finally, once you’ve imported everything into your project, you could renumber the ID’s once more. Do this only if you want to get rid of the ID’s and/or prefixes that were used when creating items in the individual projects.
Following these few steps should help ensure the import process goes smoothly.
