+Essentially it is just calling ''Timelines.ImportMarkersFromString()'' with the correct arguments (see [[:macros:function:Timelines.ImportMarkersFromString]] for more detailed explanations and other solutions):
+  * ''Handles.GetTitanIdFromHandle("timelineHandleUN=1")'' is used to get the TitanId from a specific usernumber as the function needs the titanId and not a handle
+  * ''"&lt;Version /&gt;"'' is the absolute minimum string as importMappingVersion - basically it is ''<Version />'' with the angled brackets written as entities
+  * ''"C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Titan\Markers\test.csv"'' is the absolute path to the file to import. This may differ on your system ({username} is your username, 'test.csv' is the filename which may also be different)
+  * ''Timecode.ParseFrameRate(100)'' is used to set the framerate (100 fps in this example) as AcwFrameRate object
 ===== How to use it =====
   - [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
+  - put your markers file to a suitable location and adjust the arguments (path, framerate) in the macro accordingly
-tbd
+  - this may be handy if you need to work on your markers and need to import the same file multiple times
