+Opting out
+----------
+
+If you do not want Godot to perform any of the actions described below, you
+can set the ``nodes/use_node_type_suffixes`` import option to ``false``.
+This will disable all node type suffixes, which keeps nodes the same type
+as the original file indicated. However, the ``-noimp`` suffix will still
+be respected, as well as non-node suffixes like ``-vcol`` or ``-loop``.
+
+Alternatively, you can completely opt out of all name suffixes by setting
+the ``nodes/use_name_suffixes`` import option to ``false``. This will
+completely stop the general scene import code from looking at name suffixes.
+However, the format-specific import code may still look at name suffixes,
+such as the glTF importer checking for the ``-loop`` suffix.
+
+Disabling these options makes editor-imported files more similar to the
+original files, and more similar to importing files at runtime.
+For an import workflow that works at runtime, gives more predictable
+results, and only has explicitly defined behavior, consider setting these
+options to ``false`` and using :ref:`class_GLTFDocumentExtension` instead.

+Remove nodes and animations (-noimp)
+------------------------------------
+
+Nodes and animations that have the ``-noimp`` suffix will be removed at
+import time no matter what their type is. They will not appear in the

 This is equivalent to enabling **Skip Import** for a node in the Advanced Import
 Settings dialog.
