+This project shows how to deploy a sample uni-temporal config (without lsqt configuration)
+
+Note that (as of this version), the deployed temporal config cannot be changed except for the temporal collection option properties (refer to https://docs.marklogic.com/temporal:collection-set-options for possible values)
+
+
+Once you have deployed the code, you can insert documents uni-temporally by doing the following 
+
+```javascript
+'use strict';
+declareUpdate();
+const temporal = require("/MarkLogic/temporal.xqy");
+const root =
+    {"tempdoc": 
+       {"content": "content here",
+        systemStart: null,
+        systemEnd: null}
+    };
+temporal.documentInsert("uni-temporal-collection", "doc.json", root);
+```
