 :::note Note
 Entity files are stored in YAML format, if you are not familiar with YAML, you can learn more about it [here](https://yaml.org).
+
+[Descriptor Format of Catalog Entities](../features/software-catalog/descriptor-format.md) provides additional information on the format of the YAML entity files.

-## Summary
+## Overview
 
 This guide will walk you through how to pull Backstage data from other locations manually. There are integrations that will automatically do this for you.
 
+When registering a component, you can:
+
+- Link to an existing entity file: The file is analyzed to determine which entities are defined, and the entities are added to the Scaffolded Backstage App catalog. For example, `https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/catalog-info.yaml`.
+
+- Link to a repository: All `catalog-info.yaml` files are discovered in the repository and their defined entities are added to the Scaffolded Backstage App catalog. For example, `https://github.com/backstage/backstage`.
+
+  :::note Note
+  If no entites are found, a Pull Request is created that adds an example `catalog-info.yaml` file to the repository. When the Pull Request is merged, the Scaffolded Backstage App catalog loads all of the defined entities.
+
