# Import configuration examples {#import-configuration-examples}

The [External Import Tutorial](https://docs.typo3.org/p/cobweb/externalimport_tut/main/en-us/Index.html#start) provides
a detailed introduction into External Import configuration, but it cannot cover

explains in detail some of these configurations.
