-				Imports [param source_file] into [param save_path] with the import [param options] specified. The [param platform_variants] and [param gen_files] arrays will be modified by this function.
+				Imports [param source_file] with the import [param options] specified. Should return [constant @GlobalScope.OK] if the import is successful, other values indicate failure.
+				The imported resource is expected to be saved to [code]save_path + "." + _get_save_extension()[/code]. If a different variant is preferred for a [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/export/feature_tags.html]feature tag[/url], save the variant to [code]save_path + "." + tag + "." + _get_save_extension()[/code] and add the feature tag to [param platform_variants].
+				If additional resource files are generated in the resource filesystem ([code]res://[/code]), add their full path to [param gen_files] so that the editor knows they depend on [param source_file].
 				This method must be overridden to do the actual importing work. See this class' description for an example of overriding this method.
