 To bypass the configuration file and specify a vault to use at runtime use the `--vault-path` option.
 
+**Note for Windows users:**
+Due to how TOMML parses strings, Windows paths must use `\\` as the path separator.
+For example: `C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\Obsidian`
+
+### Make Bulk Updates
+
+Bulk edits are supported by importing a CSV file containing the following columns. Column headers must be lowercase.
+
+1. `path` - Path to note relative to the vault root folder
+2. `type` - Type of metadata. One of `frontmatter`, `inline_metadata`, or `tag`
+3. `key` - The key to add (leave blank for a tag)
+4. `value` - the value to add to the key
+
+An example valid CSV file is
+
+```csv
+path,type,key,value
+folder 1/note1.md,frontmatter,fruits,apple
+folder 1/note1.md,frontmatter,fruits,banana
+folder 1/note1.md,inline_metadata,cars,toyota
+folder 1/note1.md,inline_metadata,cars,honda
+folder 1/note1.md,tag,,tag1
+folder 1/note1.md,tag,,tag2
+```
+
+How bulk imports work:
+
+-   **Only notes which match the path in the CSV file are updated**
+-   **Effected notes will have ALL of their metadata changed** to reflect the values in the CSV file
+-   **Existing metadata in a matching note will be rewritten**. This may result in it's location and/or formatting within the note being changed
+-   Inline tags ignore any value added to the `key` column
+
+Create a CSV template for making bulk updates containing all your notes and their associated metadata by
+
+1. Using the `--export-template` cli command; or
+2. Selecting the `Metadata by note` option within the `Export Metadata` section of the app
+
+Once you have a template created you can import it using the `--import-csv` flag or by navigating to the `Import bulk changes from CSV` option.
