 ## Importing Areas
 Areas can also be imported using [oputil](/docs/admin/oputil.md) using proper FileGate "RAID" aka `FILEBONE.NA` style files. After importing areas, you may wish to tweak configuration such as better `desc` fields, ACS, or sorting.
+
+## Importing Files (Scan For New Files)
+A common task is to *import* existing files to area(s). Consider a collection of retro BBS files in the area "Retro PC" (tag: `retro_pc` above) under the storage tag of `retro_pc_bbs`. You might choose to scan for new files in this area (and thus import new entries) as follows with [oputil](/docs/admin/oputil.md)'s `fb scan`:
+
+```bash
+./oputil.js fb scan --quick --tags retro,bbs,pc retro_pc@retro_pc_bbs
+```
+
+Here we have asked [oputil](/docs/admin/oputil.md) to scan the file base area by it's tag `retro_pc` and only include the storage tag of `retro_pc_bbs`. Note that the storage tag could be omitted, and if so, all of `retro_pc` would be scanned. We have also indicated to #hashtag new entries with the tags "retro", "bbs", and "pc".
+
+Please see [oputil](/docs/admin/oputil.md) for more information.
