About importing feature datasets, classes, and tables
You import entire feature datasets, feature classes, or tables with the Import XML Workspace Document wizard. You can also import schema without any data.
To import from an XML workspace, one must first be created by exporting data from a geodatabase, feature dataset, table or feature class.

If you want to import schema without any records from the feature classes and tables, click Schema Only.
