+    The `tensor.insert` op writes a tensor into a tensor `dest`as specified by
+    the operation's indices.
+
+    It returns a copy of `dest` with the proper subtensor updated with the value
+    of `scalar`.
+
+    The arity of indices must match the rank of the tensor `dest` (i.e., if a
+    tensor is of rank 3, then 3 indices are required for the extract. The
+    indices should all be of `index` type.
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```mlir
+    %4 = tensor.insert %t into %dest[%1, %2] : tensor<4x4xi32>
+    %5 = tensor.insert %rt into %dest[%1, %2] : tensor<?x?xi32>
