 PyPDF2 uses [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/) for testing.
 
+## De-selecting groups of tests
+
+PyPDF2 makes use of the following pytest markers:
+
+* `slow`: Tests that require more than 5 seconds
+* `samples`: Tests that require the [the `sample-files` git submodule](https://github.com/py-pdf/sample-files) to be initialized. As of October 2022, this is about 25 MB.
+* `external`: Tests that download PDF documents. They are stored locally and thus only need to be downloaded once. As of October 2022, this is about 200 MB.
+
+You can disable them by `pytest -m "not external"` or `pytest -m "not samples"`.
+You can even disable all of them: `pytest -m "not external" -m "not samples" -m "not slow"`.
+
+Please note that this reduces test coverage. The CI will always test all files.

+             None(default) means  that the full document will be merged.
+*import_outline*: import/ignore the pertinent outlines from the source (default True)
+*excluded_fields*: list of keys to be ignored for the imported objects;
+            if "/Annots" is part of the list, the annotation will be ignored
+            if "/B" is part of the list, the articles will be ignored
+
+examples:
+
+`writer.append("source.pdf",(0,10))  # append the first 10 pages of source.pdf`
+
+`writer.append(reader,"page 1 and 10",[0,9]) #append first and 10th page from reader and create an outline)`
+
+during the merging, the relevant named destination will also imported.
+
+if you want to insert pages in the middle of the destination, use merge (which provides (insert) position)
+
+## add_page / insert_page
+It is recommended to use `append` or `merge` instead
+
+## reset_translation
+During the cloning, if an object has been already cloned, it will not be cloned again,
+    a pointer  this previously cloned object is returned. because of that, if you add/merge a page that has
+    been already added, the same object will be added the second time. If later you modify any of these two page,
+    both pages can be modified independantly.
+
+To reset, call  `writer.reset_translation(reader)`
+
+## Advanced cloning
+In order to prevent side effect between pages/objects objects and all objects linked are linked during merging.
+
+This process will be automatically applied if you use PdfWriter.append/merge/add_page/insert_page.
+If you want to clone an object before attaching it "manually", use clone function of any PdfObject:
+eg:
+
+`cloned_object = object.clone(writer)`
+
+if you try clone an object already belonging to writer, it will return the same object
+
+`cloned_object == object.clone(writer)  # -> returns True`
+
+the same, if you try to clone twice an object it will return the previously cloned object
+
+`object.clone(writer) == object.clone(writer)  # -> returns True`
+
+Also, note that if you clone an object, you will clone all the objects below
+including the objects pointed by IndirectObject. because of that if you clone
+a page that includes some articles ("/B"),
+not only the first article, but also all the chained articles, and the pages
+where those articles can be read will be copied.
+It means that you may copy lots of objects, that will be saved in the output pdf.
+
+In order to prevent, that you can provide the list of defined the fields in the dictionaries to be ignored:
+
+eg:
+`new_page  = writer.add_page(reader.pages[0],excluded_fields=["/B"])`
