Filling Documents
=================

Once the game data structure has been defined, there are several methods available for creating and populating game entities. One option is to import game data from other sources, such as tables or JSON files. Another option is to generate data using external tools and import it into the editor. Finally, data can be added gradually as development progresses using the game data editor.

Importing JSON files
--------------------
JSON files can be imported via the user interface by following these steps:

1. Navigate to the document collection page.
2. Click on ``Actions → Import...``.
3. Select the JSON file and follow the steps in the import wizard.
