Move Your Notes From Obsidian or Notion Into idapt

The idapt Knowledge Base is markdown-first: notes organized in folders, [[wikilinks]] with backlinks and a force-directed graph, live collaborative editing, and agents that can read and write your notes. Both major sources, Obsidian vaults and Notion exports, come in through one folder import.

From Obsidian

An Obsidian vault is already the right shape: a folder tree of markdown files with wikilinks.

1. Open your workspace's Knowledge tab.
2. Click Import folder in the Knowledge sidebar and pick your vault directory.
3. Done. The folder hierarchy is recreated, and because wikilinks resolve across the whole Knowledge Base, [[links]] work immediately no matter which folders the notes landed in. Backlinks and the graph light up on first open.

Good to know:

• Titles are unique per workspace. Two Ideas.md files in different folders collide; the second is skipped with a clear message. Rename and re-import those few.
• Text only. Images and PDFs aren't part of the notes import yet; upload them to Drive alongside.
• Caps: 256 KB per note, 2,000 notes per workspace, and a per-workspace Knowledge quota (10 MB free, up to 5 GB on Max). An over-quota import fails cleanly before writing anything.
• No plugins. Canvas, Dataview, and community plugins have no equivalent, though agents cover a surprising amount of that ground (ask one to build an index note or extract every TODO).

From Notion

Notion's export splits documents from databases. Import the document tree into Knowledge first; database CSVs can stay in Drive until the structured data product is generally available.

1. In Notion: Settings → Export all workspace content, format Markdown & CSV. Unzip it.
2. Pages → Knowledge: import the export folder into the Knowledge Base with Import folder. Nested pages arrive as folders.
3. Database CSVs → Drive: keep each exported database CSV beside the imported notes in Drive. That preserves the data while structured database import remains pre-GA.

Good to know:

• Notion appends an id hash to exported file names ("Project Notes 8f3a….md"). A title-cleanup pass is on the roadmap; today a quick rename does it.
• Relations, rollups, and formulas export as plain CSV values; keep those CSVs with the notes so the computed values stay available.
• Comments, page history, and granular permissions aren't in Notion's export at all.

Getting back out

The exit is as easy as the entrance: the Knowledge Base exports as a ZIP of markdown keyed by folder path. Your notes stay yours.
