-###  Example of the base config data file
+### Import and Extend data sets
+
+NetlifyCMS uses yaml extensively. In order to avoid a lot of copy/paste the module allow to import a data set stored in `data/netlifycms/**/*.yaml`
+
+It's also possible to extend the data found in the file.
+
+See example below of usage.
+
+### Example of the base config data file
 
 ```yaml
 # data/netlifycms/config.yaml
 backend:
   name: git-gateway
   branch: easier-netlify-cms
-publish_mode: editorial_workflow
-# [ ... ]
-slug:
-  encoding: "ascii"
-  clean_accents: true
-  sanitize_replacement: "_"
 collections:
-- import collection pages #--> data/netlifycms/collections/pages.yaml
+- import collection events #--> data/netlifycms/collections/pages.yaml
 - import collection posts #--> data/netlifycms/collections/posts.yaml
+- import: collection posts
+  extend:
+    name: updates
+    label: News Updates
+    folder: content/updates
 ```
 
+Above, the Events and Posts collections are stored in the mentioned data file. As we import the data as is, we can use a simple `import` statement.
+
+For updates, we need almost the same settings and fields as the Post collection, except for a few keys that need to be overwritten.
+We can use a map with two keys:
+  - import: For the statement
+  - extend: The data which will be added/merged on top of the
+   data set.
+
+
 ### Example of a Collection data file
 
 ```yaml
 # data/netlifycms/collections/posts.yaml

-### Example of a Field data file
+Above we can see that regular handwritten data and import statements, as well as extending data can perfectly coexist among the same array.
+
+It is convenient to create a "base" field like `time.yaml` on which to extend special data. This way, the two fields storing a "Start" and an "End" time can use the same base of settings for date and time formating while retaining their own `name` and `label`.
