+## Import / Export
+
+Investbrain includes a convenient feature which allows you to import and export portfolios and transaction data. 
+
+### Import
+
+Imports are "upserted" to the database. If the record does not already exist in the database, the record will be created. However, when a portfolio or transaction exists (the record's ID matches an existing record), the record will be updated. This way, you can simultaneously create new records, but also bulk update records.
+
+### Export
+
+Exporting your portfolios and transactions is a convenient way to back-up your Investbrain data. It is also a convenient way to maintain portability of *your* data.
+
 ## Configuration
 
 There are several optional configurations available when installing using the recommended [Docker method](#self-hosting). These options are configurable using an environment file. Changes can be made in your [.env](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/.env.example) file before installation.
