 * Hi there, thanks so much for this great plugin! I intent to use it as an onboarding
   solution for users who install a WordPress package that I will send them. So 
   I am wondering: Once I created all the pointers on my template website, how can
   I then add them as a file to my WordPress folder/package to be sent? I would 
   like people to see the pointers as soon as they install WordPress, without having
   to import an XML file…
    Any idea how I can do that? Thanks!

 * Hi [@sarahtht](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sarahtht/), and thanks for
   the kind words. Unfortunately, unless you are also sending them a database they
   will not have them. If I am understanding you, you are asking if the items can
   either be a) pre-populated at activation time (by some file you would include)
   or b) read out of a file instead of the database. While both these things are
   technically possible, it would be a significant amount of programming add. I 
   will add it to my list of future feature requests, or if you want to hire me 
   to custom code this, that is a possibility please let me know.
