The manual XPath option overrides the selection that the extractor automatically generated with elements of the webpage you specify manually. When the data you want to extract from a page is hiding from view in a dropdown list or undisplayed tab, not fully visible on the webpage, or otherwise not selectable in the Import.io editor, use manual XPaths to identify the data in the HTML code.
If you are not familiar with XPath, then you will first want to start with an introduction to HTML followed by an introduction to XPath, and then our Advanced XPath Tutorial.
