 ## Usage
 
-Usage instructions go here.
+This plugin adds a database action item called "Create table with pasted data".
+
+This action is available to users with the `create-table` permission.
+
+It links to a page that allows users to paste in CSV, TSV or JSON data, and then use that to create and populate a new table in Datasette.
+
+CSV and TSV data must have headers on the first row.
+
+JSON data must be an array of objects with the same keys, or a container object object where one of the keys is an array of objects.
+
+## Credits
+
+The CSV and TSV parsing is performed using [Papa Parse](https://www.papaparse.com/), an MIT licensed JavaScript library that is bundled with this plugin.
