+## Definition
+
+You can use this optional seed configuration to customize how you separate values in a [seed](/docs/build/seeds) by providing the one-character string.
+
+* The delimiter defaults to a comma when not specified.
+* Explicitly set the `delimiter` configuration value if you want seed files to use a different delimiter, such as "|" or ";".
+
+:::info New in 1.7!
+
+Delimiter is new functionality available beginning with dbt Core v1.7.
+
+:::
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Specify a delimiter in your `dbt_project.yml` file to customize the global separator for all seed values:
+
+<File name='dbt_project.yml'>
+
+```yml
+seeds:
+  <project_name>:
+     +delimiter: "|" # default project delimiter for seeds will be "|"
+    <seed_subdirectory>:
+      +delimiter: "," # delimiter for seeds in seed_subdirectory will be ","
+```
+
+</File>
+
+
+Or use a custom delimiter to override the values for a specific seed:
+
+<File name='seeds/properties.yml'>
+
+```yml
+version: 2
+
+seeds:
+  - name: <seed_name>
+    config: 
+      delimiter: "|"
+```
+
+</File>
+
+## Examples
+For a project with:
+
+* `name: jaffle_shop` in the `dbt_project.yml` file
+* `seed-paths: ["seeds"]` in the `dbt_project.yml` file
+
+### Use a custom delimiter to override global values
+
+You can set a default behavior for all seeds with an exception for one seed, `seed_a`, which uses a comma:
+
+<File name='dbt_project.yml'>
+
+```yml
+seeds:
+  jaffle_shop: 
+    +delimiter: "|" # default delimiter for seeds in jaffle_shop project will be "|"
+    seed_a:
+      +delimiter: "," # delimiter for seed_a will be ","
+```
+
+</File>
+
+Your corresponding seed files would be formatted like this:
+
+<File name='seeds/my_seed.csv'>
+
+```text
+col_a|col_b|col_c
+1|2|3
+4|5|6
+...
+```
+
+</File>
+
+<File name='seeds/seed_a.csv'>
+
+```text
+name,id
+luna,1
+doug,2
+...
+```
+
+</File>
+
+Or you can configure custom behavior for one seed. The `country_codes` uses the ";" delimiter:
+
+<File name='seeds/properties.yml'>
+
+```yml
+version: 2
+
+seeds:
+  - name: country_codes
+    config:
+      delimiter: ";"
+```
+
+</File>
+
+The `country_codes` seed file would be formatted like this:
+
+<File name='seeds/country_codes.csv'>
+
+```text
+country_code;country_name
+US;United States
+CA;Canada
+GB;United Kingdom
+...
+```
+
