Which leads to your question. Yes, you can make whatever changes you wish to the content. You can reorganize things however you like, into whatever structure you find most efficient for your own use of the material.
And you can delete whatever material you don't want after an import completes. For example, each Bestiary book contains a wide spectrum of creatures, many of which won't make sense for a particular campaign. So you can delete all such entries and have a much more manageable list of creatures to work with during preparations for upcoming sessions.
Hope this helps!

I know. Responding to my own post is bad form. But there is some important additional info that I figured would be helpful, and simply going back and editing my post will likely not have it seen by a bunch of users to whom the info would potentially be valuable. So...
All of the content from the market is uniquely identified down to the individual snippet. This confers a few benefits. First of all, if you delete something and want it back, you can do so. Granted, you'll get
everything imported again, but anything missing will be restored. Secondly, and more importantly, if you edit something, your edits will always be preserved when a new import occurs. Everything else will be updated if it's new or has been changed in the import file.
So what does this mean? If you delete some snippets from a topic, they will be restored upon import. If you delete some snippets and modify others, only the ones you deleted will be restored. If you modify snippets in a topic and we modify snippets in that same topic for an update, the snippets you modify will always be preserved. Only the snippets that we modified and you did not modify will be updated. Your changes are never touched.
I hope all that makes sense!
