+@subsection developers-plugin-interface-updating-importers Checklist for updating the @ref Trade::AbstractImporter plugin interface
+
+-   Newly added `do*()` APIs need to be also handled in all proxies:
+    -   @relativeref{Trade,AnyImageImporter}
+    -   @relativeref{Trade,AnySceneImporter}
+-   Newly added data types need to be reflected in all APIs operating with
+    whole importers:
+    -   @ref Trade::SceneContent
+    -   @ref Trade::AbstractSceneConverter::addImporterContents()
+    -   @ref Trade::AbstractSceneConverter::addSupportedImporterContents()
+    -   @ref magnum-sceneconverter "magnum-sceneconverter" /
+        @ref magnum-imageconverter "magnum-imageconverter", at the very least
+        the `--info`
+-   Newly added @ref Trade::ImporterFlag values need to be reflected in:
+    -   All plugins that may make use of them, together with documenting if
+        they're recognized
+    -   New command-line options in
+        @ref magnum-sceneconverter "magnum-sceneconverter" /
+        @ref magnum-imageconverter "magnum-imageconverter"
+-   It's highly likely that APIs added to / changed in the importer will also
+    need a corresponding change in @ref Trade::AbstractImageConverter and
+    @ref Trade::AbstractSceneConverter
