How do you "apply" loaded retopo mesh

Can anyone hel me out how the heck I apply the retopoed (and uved mesh) so it is visible in uv and paint rooms?

So what I did is to load a hi res mesh for sculpting - I see it in vox tree in the sculpt room. Then I clicked file -> import -> import retopo mesh . I've chosen a previously retopoed (and uved mesh) from a separate file. It loaded and it switched me to retopo room. I hit apply and I see the low res in the retopo toom (and in retopo objects I see it as a layer named "uved").

But when I switch to uv or paint room I don't see it. What am I missing / doing wrong? I find it extremely counter intuitive.

Also once you load your high res mesh into the sculpt room, just switched to the retopo room. Now under the retopo menu, import your your low polygon model. No need to use the file——import method unless you just want to.

FYI. A model will not appear in the uv room till you bake from the retopo room to the paint room. 

Good video though the interface has changed, baking is now under the bake menu

thx guys, in the end I got it working. But this part of the workflow makes no sense to me - I don't want to bake anything until I got all my UVs clean and sorted out in the uv room.

The Retopo Workspace has it's own mirrored set of UV tools.
