Hi, welcome to the forum
.lin files contain data that BBO needs to produce a deal. Each file contains the South West and East hands in that order and the board number. You can make them and save them in various ways including by hand in any text editor manually, or on playbridge.com
here's one for 'board 1'
You can see that it has 'board 8' at the end. If you save this into a file called - for example test.lin and then try importing it, it should work.

If not go to account first and then deal archive and add a folder and rename it test then import the newly created test file.
Good luck.
