 ## DESCRIPTION
 Import one or more certificates and their private keys.
 PKCS8 (.pem), PKCS12 (.pfx or .p12), and X509 (.pem, .cer, or .crt) certificates are supported.
+Certificates/keys can be imported from a file or from data provided directly to the function, eg.
+exporting from Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted and importing into Certificate Manager, SaaS.
