 Before using `IMPORT INTO`, you should have:
 
 - An existing table to import into (use [`CREATE TABLE`](create-table.html)).
+
+    <span class="version-tag">New in v20.2:</span> `IMPORT INTO` supports [computed columns](computed-columns.html) and the [`DEFAULT` expressions listed below](#supported-default-expressions).
+
 - The CSV or Avro data you want to import, preferably hosted on cloud storage. This location must be equally accessible to all nodes using the same import file location. This is necessary because the `IMPORT INTO` statement is issued once by the client, but is executed concurrently across all nodes of the cluster. For more information, see the [Import file location](#import-file-location) section below.

 We also recommend [specifying all secondary indexes you want to use in the `CREATE TABLE` statement](create-table.html#create-a-table-with-secondary-and-inverted-indexes). It is possible to [add secondary indexes later](create-index.html), but it is significantly faster to specify them during import.

 By default, the [Postgres][postgres] and [MySQL][mysql] import formats support foreign keys. However, the most common dependency issues during import are caused by unsatisfied foreign key relationships that cause errors like `pq: there is no unique constraint matching given keys for referenced table tablename`. You can avoid these issues by adding the [`skip_foreign_keys`](#import-options) option to your `IMPORT` statement as needed. Ignoring foreign constraints will also speed up data import.
