+#### Patch WebLogic Server images
 
+Use the [WebLogic Image Tool](https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-image-tool) (WIT) to patch
+WebLogic Server images with quarterly Patch Set Updates (PSUs), which include security fixes, or with one-off patches.
+
+Use either the WIT [`create`](https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-image-tool/blob/master/site/create-image.md) or
+[`update`](https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-image-tool/blob/master/site/update-image.md) command, however,
+patching using the `create` command results in a smaller WebLogic Server image size. Note that you will need to
+download the WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 installer and JDK installer prior to running the `create` command. For details, see
+the WIT [Quick Start](https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-image-tool/blob/master/site/quickstart.md) guide.
+
+Example: Create an image named `sample:wls` with the WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 slim installer, JDK 8u291, a slim version of the Oracle Linux 7 container image,
+and latest PSU and recommended CPU and SPU patches applied.
+
+```shell
+$ imagetool create --tag sample:wls --type=wlsslim --recommendedPatches --pull --user testuser@xyz.com --password hello --version=12.2.1.4.0 --jdkVersion=8u291
+```
