The complete file contains all the individual SVG files so you can easily upload or import one single file versus several.  The single SVG files are still included for those that may still need them, such as ScanNCut users. Once you unzip the file, look for the Complete File folder within SVG Files folder. Within the folder, there are 2 versions of the complete file, one with dashed scorelines and one with solid scorelines. The solid scorelines are for machines or software that have scoring tools and options, like the Cricut machines.

In 2021, we started updating older SVG files to include the complete file. As of February 2023, there are less than 20 files without complete files. If you file does not contain a complete file, it could have been updated. See Updated Files for Cricut Design Space Users for more information and the most current list of updated files with Complete files.
