```auto
import * as XdApp from. "application"

XdApp.activeDocument // undefined

import {activeDocument} from "application"

activeDocument // Works

```

Any idea what’s wrong with “import \* as” syntax. Is it a bug or I am doing something wrong?

The [documentation](https://www.adobe.io/xd/uxp/develop/reference/application/) has this format:

```auto
let application = require("application");
let documentInfo = application.activeDocument;
console.log("Document title: " + documentInfo.name);
console.log("Document ID: " + documentInfo.guid);

```
