+
+```dvc
+$ dvc import --rev baseline-experiment git@github.com:iterative/example-get-started model.pkl

+After this, the import stage (DVC-file) `model.pkl.dvc` is created.

+Let's try to run `dvc update` on the given stage file, and see what happens.
+
+```dvc
+$ dvc update model.pkl.dvc
+```
+
+There was no output at all, meaning, the `model.pkl` file was not updated. This
+is because, we tied the import stage with a `rev` that never changes (i.e. tag
+is tied to a specific commit). Therefore, it was not updated.

+
+```dvc
+$ dvc update --rev bigrams-experiment model.pkl.dvc
+Importing 'model.pkl (git@github.com:iterative/example-get-started)'
+-> 'model.pkl'
+```
+
+The import stage is overwritten, and will get updated from the latest changes in
+the given revision (i.e. `bigrams-experiment` tag).
