When is the best time to add nuts, seeds, berries, ect. to the dough?

At what point in the dough process is it best to add any additional ingredients?

Also a popular way I employ is adding during stretch&folds, you can find some videos by foodgeek on youtube where he adds seeds.

If you like to employ a lamination it is a perfect time to add them.
