# Option 3: How to Implement PBN file on Q-plus

You can use the **PBN file** that you can **download** from the **‘Big Seminar’ page** each time a new ‘**Big Seminar’** comes out.

The **PBN file** is used to **download** and **load** the **hands** on to your **own piece of software**. Bernard’s **videos** illustrate the **Set Hands** using the **Q-plus software** and there is a **video** that shows **how to load the hands** on to **Q-plus software** in our [**Q-plus Help Videos**](/bridge-play-guides/q-plus-help-videos.md). However, it should be just as easy to put the hands on **other** bridge software.

## DOWNLOAD a PBN file from BMB website

1. Under each **‘Big Seminar’** there is a button saying: ***'Ready for the Set Hands? Click here'**.*
2. Click this button.
3. Next click the red button **‘Click here for the PBN file download’** and **download / save** the file on your laptop.
