Quoted from a question another guy asked on Armaholic forums, this isn't you Toxic?

But see my answer below.

# agentginger : I've got my mission.sqm but the in game editor still won't see the mission. I don't have an option to open the mission up?

I know this is an old thread but if you guys could help me out that would be great.

If you only have a mission.sqm then no the editor wont read it, editor will only read a mission.sqm
when its inside a folder and has a map extension attached to it, which would be something like this:
Assault.Altis

So do this:
1. Go into the editor, pick the map that your mission is on, place a soldier (player) and save it,
when you save it dont export it, just save as a usermission.

2. Now go to your usermissions folder for sp missions which will be here:
C:\Users\your name here\Documents\Arma 3\missions
from here locate the map that your mission is on.

3. Once you locate your mission then replace the sqm thats in that folder with the one you have,
and the mission should load, if it dont and you built your previous mission with mods,
then you need to make sure that those mods are running as well.
==========
Keep in mind that all missions be they sp or mp will be in a folder and will have an mission.sqm inside
the name of the folder for the mission will have the mission name you gave it then it will have .map
basically the name of the map that the mission is on.
Hope that helps.

Welcome to Bis forums btw ;)

Thanks but my folder names are right. The SQM that I downloadet and saved right in the Documents cannot be opened in the 3d-Editor. I see the filer under "Open" but if I am trying to the message I described is shown.

So your mission is showing up in the open mission screen, right?  Have you tried using the merge feature?
