+```ts
+import { importExportPlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-import-export'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    importExportPlugin({
+      debug: true,
+
+      // Override default export collection (e.g., add access control)
+      // This will be used by all collections unless they further override the config
+      overrideExportCollection: ({ collection }) => {
+        collection.access = {
+          ...collection.access,
+          read: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'admin',
+        }
+        return collection
+      },
+
+      // Per-collection settings
+      collections: [
+        {
+          slug: 'pages',
+          export: {
+            format: 'csv',
+            disableDownload: true,
+          },
+          import: {
+            defaultVersionStatus: 'draft',
+          },
+        },
+        {
+          slug: 'posts',
+          export: false, // Disable export for posts
+        },
+      ],
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+## Collection-Specific Import and Export targets
+
+By default, the plugin creates a single `exports` collection and a single `imports` collection that handle all import/export operations across your enabled collections. However, you can create separate import and export targets for specific collections by overriding the collection slug.
+
+When you change the slug using the `overrideCollection` function at the per-collection level, this creates an entirely separate uploads collection for that specific source collection. This is useful when you need:
+
+- Different access control rules for different data types
+- Separate storage locations for exports
+- Isolated import queues for specific workflows
+- Different admin UI organization
+
+### Example: Separate Export Targets
+
+```ts
+import { importExportPlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-import-export'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  plugins: [
+    importExportPlugin({
+      collections: [
+        {
+          slug: 'users',
+          export: {
+            // Create a separate 'user-exports' collection for user data
+            overrideCollection: ({ collection }) => {
+              return {
+                ...collection,
+                slug: 'user-exports',
+                labels: {
+                  singular: 'User Export',
+                  plural: 'User Exports',
+                },
+                access: {
+                  // Only super admins can access user exports
+                  read: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'superadmin',
+                  create: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'superadmin',
+                },
+              }
+            },
+          },
+          import: {
+            // Create a separate 'user-imports' collection
+            overrideCollection: ({ collection }) => {
+              return {
+                ...collection,
+                slug: 'user-imports',
+                labels: {
+                  singular: 'User Import',
+                  plural: 'User Imports',
+                },
+                access: {
+                  read: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'superadmin',
+                  create: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'superadmin',
+                },
+              }
+            },
+          },
+        },
+        {
+          slug: 'pages',
+          // Pages will use the default 'exports' and 'imports' collections
+        },
+        {
+          slug: 'posts',
+          // Posts will also use the default collections
+        },
+      ],
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- User exports are stored in `user-exports` collection with restricted access
+- User imports are tracked in `user-imports` collection
+- Pages and posts share the default `exports` and `imports` collections
+
+### Combining Top-Level and Per-Collection Overrides
+
+You can combine the top-level `overrideExportCollection` / `overrideImportCollection` functions with per-collection overrides. The top-level override is applied first, then the per-collection override:
+
+```ts
+importExportPlugin({
+  // Apply to ALL export collections (both default and custom slugs)
+  overrideExportCollection: ({ collection }) => {
+    return {
+      ...collection,
+      admin: {
+        ...collection.admin,
+        group: 'Data Management',
+      },
+    }
+  },
+
+  collections: [
+    {
+      slug: 'sensitive-data',
+      export: {
+        // This override is applied AFTER the top-level override
+        overrideCollection: ({ collection }) => {
+          return {
+            ...collection,
+            slug: 'sensitive-exports',
+            access: {
+              read: () => false, // Completely restrict read access
+              create: ({ req }) => req.user?.role === 'admin',
+            },
+          }
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+})
+```

+
+The plugin allows importing data from CSV or JSON files. There are several ways to import:
+
+1. **Admin UI** - Use the Import drawer from the list view of a collection
+2. **File storage** - Create an import document in the `imports` collection with an uploaded file
+3. **Local API** - Create an import document: `payload.create({ collection: 'imports', data: { collectionSlug: 'pages', importMode: 'create' }, file: { ... } })`
+4. **Jobs Queue** - `payload.jobs.queue({ task: 'createCollectionImport', input: parameters })`

+| `collectionSlug` | string | The collection to import into                       |
+| `importMode`     | string | `create`, `update`, or `upsert` (default: `create`) |
+| `locale`         | string | The locale to use for localized fields              |
+
+### Import Modes
+
+- **create** - Only creates new documents. Documents with existing IDs will fail.
+- **update** - Only updates existing documents. Requires `id` column in CSV. Documents without matching IDs will fail.
+- **upsert** - Creates new documents or updates existing ones based on `id`. Most flexible option.

+| Property               | Type   | Description                                       |
+| ---------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `status`               | string | `pending`, `processing`, `completed`, or `failed` |
+| `summary.total`        | number | Total number of rows processed                    |
+| `summary.imported`     | number | Number of successfully imported documents         |
+| `summary.updated`      | number | Number of updated documents (update/upsert modes) |
+| `summary.issues`       | number | Number of rows that failed                        |
+| `summary.issueDetails` | array  | Details about each failure                        |
+
+## CSV Format
+
+### Column Naming Convention
+
+CSV columns use underscore (`_`) notation to represent nested fields:
+
+| Field Path       | CSV Column Name                  |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `title`          | `title`                          |
+| `group.value`    | `group_value`                    |
+| `array[0].field` | `array_0_field`                  |
+| `blocks[0]`      | `blocks_0_<blockSlug>_blockType` |
+| `localized` (en) | `localized_en`                   |
+
+### Relationship Columns
+
+For relationship fields, the column format varies based on the relationship type:
+
+| Relationship Type     | Column(s)                                  |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| hasOne (monomorphic)  | `fieldName`                                |
+| hasOne (polymorphic)  | `fieldName_relationTo`, `fieldName_id`     |
+| hasMany (monomorphic) | `fieldName_0`, `fieldName_1`, etc.         |
+| hasMany (polymorphic) | `fieldName_0_relationTo`, `fieldName_0_id` |
+
+### Value Handling
+
+During CSV import, certain values are automatically converted:
+
+| CSV Value        | Converted To      | Notes                                    |
+| ---------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `true`, `TRUE`   | `true` (boolean)  | Case-insensitive                         |
+| `false`, `FALSE` | `false` (boolean) | Case-insensitive                         |
+| `null`, `NULL`   | `null`            | Use `fromCSV` hook to preserve as string |
+| Empty string     | `''` or omitted   | Depends on field type                    |
+| Numeric strings  | `number`          | Auto-detected for integers and floats    |
+
+To preserve literal strings like "null" or "true", use a `fromCSV` function:
+
+```ts
+{
+  name: 'specialField',
+  type: 'text',
+  custom: {
+    'plugin-import-export': {
+      fromCSV: ({ value }) => {
+        // Return raw value without automatic conversion
+        return value
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Localized Fields
+
+### Single Locale Export
+
+When exporting with a specific locale selected, localized fields appear without a locale suffix:
+
+```csv
+title,description
+"English Title","English Description"
+```
+
+### Multi-Locale Export
+
+When exporting with locale set to `all`, each localized field gets a column per configured locale:
+
+```csv
+title_en,title_es,title_de,description_en,description_es,description_de
+"English","Español","Deutsch","Desc EN","Desc ES","Desc DE"
+```
+
+### Importing Localized Fields
+
+For single-locale import, data goes into the locale specified in the import settings:
+
+```csv
+title,description
+"New Title","New Description"
+```
+
+For multi-locale import, use locale suffixes in column names to import multiple locales at once:
+
+```csv
+title_en,title_es
+"English Title","Título en Español"
+```
+
+## JSON Format
+
+When using JSON format for import/export:
+
+- **Export**: Documents are exported as a JSON array, preserving their nested structure
+- **Import**: Expects a JSON array of document objects
+
+JSON format preserves the exact structure of your data, including:
+
+- Nested objects and arrays
+- Rich text (Lexical) structures with numeric properties
+- Relationship references
+- All field types in their native format
+
+Example JSON export:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": "abc123",
+    "title": "My Page",
+    "group": {
+      "value": "nested value",
+      "array": [{ "field1": "item 1" }, { "field2": "item 2" }]
+    },
+    "blocks": [
+      {
+        "blockType": "hero",
+        "title": "Hero Title"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+]
+```
