-Advanced Examples
------------------
+## Importing data
+
+There are many ways to import data into SolveBio.
+
+**Web**:
+You can import VCF & JSON files directly via the [SolveBio web interface](https://my.solvebio.com/files) ([web import documentation](https://support.solvebio.com/hc/en-us/articles/218889718-Importing-VCF-and-JSON-Data
+)).
+
+**SolveBio Python client shortcut**:
+[Handy dandy command line shortcut](https://github.com/solvebio/solvebio-python/blob/master/examples/import/README.md) built into the SolveBio Python client.
+
+**Python script**:
+Or use an
+[example simple Python script](https://github.com/solvebio/solvebio-python/blob/master/examples/import_data.py).
+
+
+## Advanced Examples
 
 IPython/Jupyter notebooks do not load embedded graphs in the GitHub viewer.

+SolveBio Import Shortcut Example
+======================
+
+Make sure you're using the newest version of SolveBio with `pip install solvebio --upgrade`
+
+The SolveBio Python client provides a simple command line shortcut to import data.
+
+Your DOMAIN is the subdomain of your SolveBio account. You can find your domain by going to [SolveBio](https://my.solvebio.com/organization/people) - your organization name is your domain.
+
+To run the example commands, download the [example_input.json](https://github.com/solvebio/solvebio-python/blob/master/examples/import/example_input.json) and [example_template.json](https://github.com/solvebio/solvebio-python/blob/master/examples/import/example_template.json) files.
+
+In your command line:
+```bash
+solvebio import DOMAIN:ExampleDepo/1.0.0/ExampleDataset example_input.json --create-dataset --auto-approve
+```
+
+If you want to add SolveBio entities to your data, you can with a template file (you can also do it later on the SolveBio web interface).
+```
+solvebio import DOMAIN:ExampleDepo/1.0.0/ExampleEntityDataset example_input.json --create-dataset --auto-approve --template-file example_template.json
+```
+
+To get a full list of the arguments options available, try
+```
+solvebio import -h
+```
