+= Importing multiple GitHub repositories
+
+In {product}, you can select your GitHub repositories and automate their onboarding to the {product-short} catalog.
+
+.Prerequisites
+* You have link:{authentication-book-url}#enabling-authentication-with-github[configured GitHub authentication and integration].
+* You have xref:enabling-and-giving-access-to-the-bulk-import-feature[enabled the Bulk Import feature and gave access to it].
+
+.Procedure
+. Click *Bulk Import* in the left sidebar.
+. Click the *Add* button in the top-right corner to see the list of all repositories accessible from the configured GitHub integrations.
+.. From the *Repositories* view, you can select any repository, or search for any accessible repositories.
+For each repository selected, a `catalog-info.yaml` is generated.
+.. From the *Organizations* view, you can select any organization by clicking *Select* in the third column.
+This option allows you to select one or more repositories from the selected organization.
+. Click *Preview file* to view or edit the details of the pull request for each repository.
+.. Review the pull request description and the `catalog-info.yaml` file content.
+.. Optional: when the repository has a `.github/CODEOWNERS` file, you can select the *Use CODEOWNERS file as Entity Owner* checkbox to use it, rather than having the `content-info.yaml` contain a specific entity owner.
+.. Click *Save*.
+. Click *Create pull requests*.
+At this point, a set of dry-run checks runs against the selected repositories to ensure they meet the requirements for import, such as:
+.. Verifying that there is no entity in the {product-short} catalog with the name specified in the repository `catalog-info.yaml`
+.. Verifying that the repository is not empty
+.. Verifying that the repository contains a `.github/CODEOWNERS` file if the *Use CODEOWNERS file as Entity Owner* checkbox is selected for that repository
+
+** If any errors occur, the pull requests are not created, and you see a _Failed to create PR_ error message detailing the issues.
+To view more details about the reasons, click *Edit*.
+
+** If there are no errors, the pull requests are created, and you are redirected to the list of added repositories.
+
+. Review and merge each pull request that creates a `catalog-info.yml` file.
+
+.Verification
+* The *Added repositories* list displays the repositories you imported, each with an appropriate status: either _Waiting for approval_ or _Added_.
+* For each _Waiting for approval_ import job listed, there is a corresponding pull request adding the `catalog-info.yaml` file in the corresponding repository.

+= Managing the added repositories
+You can oversee and manage the repositories that are imported to the {product-short}.
+
+.Prerequisites
+* You have xref:importing-multiple-github-repositories[imported GitHub repositories].
+
+
+.Procedure
+. Click *Bulk Import* in the left sidebar to display all the current repositories that are being tracked as Import jobs, along with their status.
+
+Added:: The repository is added to the {product-short} catalog after the import pull request is merged or if the repository already contained a `catalog-info.yaml` file during the bulk import. 
+Note that it may take a few minutes for the entities to be available in the catalog.
+
+Waiting for approval:: There is an open pull request adding a `catalog-info.yaml` file to the repository.
+You can:
+* Click the *pencil icon* on the right to see details about the pull request or edit the pull request content right from {product-short}.
+* Delete the Import job, this action closes the import PR as well.
+* To transition the Import job to the _Added_ state, merge the import pull request from the Git repository.
+
+Empty:: {product-short} is unable to determine the import job status because the repository is imported from other sources but does not have a `catalog-info.yaml` file and lacks any import pull request adding it.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+* After an import pull request is merged, the import status is marked as _Added_ in the list of Added Repositories, but it might take a few seconds for the corresponding entities to appear in the {product-short} Catalog.
+* A location added through other sources (like statically in an `app-config.yaml` file, dynamically when link:{linkgettingstartedguide}#enabling-github-discovery-in-red-hat-developer-hub[enabling GitHub discovery], or registered manually using the "Register an existing component" page) might show up in the Bulk Import list of Added Repositories if the following conditions are met:
+** The target repository is accessible from the configured GitHub integrations.
+** The location URL points to a `catalog-info.yaml` file at the root of the repository default branch.

+= Understanding the Bulk Import audit Logs
+
+The Bulk Import backend plugin adds the following events to the {product-short} audit logs.
+See link:{linkgettingstartedguide}#assembly-audit-log[Audit Logs in {product}] for more information on how to configure and view audit logs.
+
+*Bulk Import Events*:
+
+`BulkImportUnknownEndpoint`::
+Tracks requests to unknown endpoints.
+
+`BulkImportPing`::
+Tracks `GET` requests to the `/ping` endpoint, which allows us to make sure the bulk import backend is up and running.
+
+`BulkImportFindAllOrganizations`::
+Tracks `GET` requests to the `/organizations` endpoint, which returns the list of organizations accessible from all configured GitHub Integrations.
+
+`BulkImportFindRepositoriesByOrganization`::
+Tracks `GET` requests to the `/organizations/:orgName/repositories` endpoint, which returns the list of repositories for the specified organization (accessible from any of the configured GitHub Integrations).
+
+`BulkImportFindAllRepositories`::
+Tracks GET requests to the `/repositories` endpoint, which returns the list of repositories accessible from all configured GitHub Integrations.
+
+`BulkImportFindAllImports`::
+Tracks `GET` requests to the `/imports` endpoint, which returns the list of existing import jobs along with their statuses.
+
+`BulkImportCreateImportJobs`::
+Tracks `POST` requests to the `/imports` endpoint, which allows to submit requests to bulk-import one or many repositories into the {product-short} catalog, by eventually creating import pull requests in the target repositories.
+
+`BulkImportFindImportStatusByRepo`::
+Tracks `GET` requests to the `/import/by-repo` endpoint, which fetches details about the import job for the specified repository.
+
+`BulkImportDeleteImportByRepo`::
+Tracks `DELETE` requests to the `/import/by-repo` endpoint, which deletes any existing import job for the specified repository, by closing any open import pull request that could have been created.
