!!! warning
The [Document importer](#importer) is meant to be run against a completely empty database
and a set of empty paperless folders.

(with the existing items in your paperless database) caused by the manifest data you
place in the `export` folder, the document_importer script may crash on duplicate items/files.

items into a paperless instance that is not completely empty.
