-Export user data from a region to a file.
+Export user data from a region to a file or files.
 
 **Availability:** Online. You must be connected in `gfsh` to a JMX Manager member to use this command.
 
 **Syntax:**
 
+To export data from any region, replicated or partitioned, sequentially to a single file, use the `--file` option:
+
+``` pre
+export data --region=value --member=value --file=value
+```
+
+In this scenario, data from replicated and partitioned regions is exported sequentially to a single file on the specified member.
+
+In the case of partitioned regions, you can speed up the export process by using the `--parallel` option:
+
 ``` pre
-export data --region=value --file=value --member=value
+export data  --parallel --region=value --member=value --dir=value
 ```
 
+In this scenario, partitioned region data is exported simultaneously on all hosting nodes to directories local to those respective nodes.
+
+- Parallel export applies only to partitioned regions.
+
+- The `--file` and `--dir` options are mutually exclusive; `--file` can be used only for serial export, `--dir` can be used for both serial and parallel exports.
+
+**Export Data Parameters:**
+

-    Import a cluster configuration.
+Imports a previously-exported cluster configuration from a zip file into a locator. This command is useful when spinning up a new cluster and when
+upgrading from an older version of <%=vars.product_name%> to a new one.
 
-## <a id="topic_jw2_2ld_2l" class="no-quick-link"></a>import data
+- In a given cluster, only one locator needs to perform the import. 
+That locator shares the imported configuration with all other connected locators in the distributed system.
+- Locators share the imported configuration with data members (servers) when they start, or if they have been recently started and no other
+configuration changes have been made (such as new region definitions, for example).
+- Data members that were already running before the import may need to be restarted to obtain the new cluster configuration.
 
-Import user data from a file to a region.
+So, to ensure a consistent cluster configuration throughout your distributed system, perform these steps in the following order:
 
-**Availability:** Online. You must be connected in `gfsh` to a JMX Manager member to use this command.
+1. Spin up the new cluster
+2. If upgrading, an already-running cluster, shut down most (or all) data members (servers) before importing a shared configuration.
+3. Import the cluster configuration.
+4. Start or re-start all data members (servers).
+
+**Availability:** Online. You must be connected in `gfsh` to a locator to use this command.
 
 **Syntax:**
 
 ``` pre
- import data --region=value --file=value --member=value [--invoke-callbacks=value]

+
+- Parallel import applies only to partitioned regions exported in parallel mode.

+- The `--file` and `--dir` options are mutually exclusive; `--file` can be used only for serial import, `--dir` can be used for both serial and parallel imports.
