Import notes from Notion

You can import notes from Markdown files. It comes in handy when you would migrate your notes from Notion. Notion can export your pages as Markdown, which Inkdrop imports directly — including their images.

Export Pages as Markdown from Notion

A single page (and its subpages)

Open the page you want to export, click the ••• icon at the top right, then choose Export from the menu.

In the export dialog, set the export format to Markdown & CSV. Turn on Include subpages to export nested pages as well, then click Export. Notion downloads a .zip file.

Unzip it. Each page becomes its own .md file, and the images and other assets on your pages are saved into folders next to them. Keep this whole unzipped folder together — you will point Inkdrop at it in the next step so the images come across with your notes.

Your entire workspace

In the sidebar, go to Settings -> Workspace -> General, then select Export all workspace content. Choose Markdown & CSV as the format and turn on Include subpages.

For a large workspace, Notion prepares the export in the background and emails you a download link when it is ready (the link expires after 7 days). Download and unzip it as above.

For more information, see Export your content in the Notion Help Center.

Import Notes from Markdown Files

Now let’s import them. Select File -> Import -> from Markdown files… from the menu.

A dialog shows up, which asks you to select which notebook to be the destination. Once you have chosen a notebook, click ‘OK’. You will see the open file dialog — select the unzipped folder you exported from Notion (the one containing your .md files and their asset folders). That’s it!
