| Obsidian allows you to easily migrate your notes from Notion using the [[Importer|Importer plugin]]. | |
| ## Export your data from Notion | |
| Obsidian uses Notion's HTML export format. You can find Notions's instructions on how to export your entire workspace [on Notion's website](https://www.notion.so/help/export-your-content). Note that you must be a workspace admin to see this option. | |
| 1. Go to **Settings & members** at the top of your left-hand sidebar. | |
| 2. Select **Settings** in the sidebar of that window. | |
| 3. Scroll down and select the **Export all workspace content** button. | |
| 4. Under **Export format** select **HTML**. | |
| 5. Enable **Include subpages** | |
| 6. Enable **Create folders for subpages** | |
| 7. You will receive a `.zip` file via email or directly in the browser. | |

| ## Import your Notion data into Obsidian | |
| You will need the official Obsidian [[Importer]] plugin, which you can [install here](obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-importer). | |
| 1. Open **Settings**. | |
| 2. Go to **Community Plugins** and [install Importer](obsidian://show-plugin?id=obsidian-importer). | |
| 3. Enable the Importer plugin. | |
| 4. Open the **Importer** plugin using the command palette or ribbon icon. | |
| 5. Under **File format** select **Notion (.zip)** | |
| 6. Choose the `.zip` file with Notion files you want to import. *It's recommended to import all your Notion at once so internal links can be reconciled correctly.* | |
| 7. _Optionally_, select a folder for the import Your Notion pages and databases will be nested inside this folder. | |
| 8. Enable **Save parent pages in subfolders** to keep the Notion structure. *Note that in Notion you can write content in Folders, this is not possible in Obsidian and these pages will be added as a subpage under the folder.* | |
| 9. Select **Import** and wait until import is complete | |
| 10. You're done! | |
| ## Troubleshooting | |
| If you run into issues while importing from Notion: | |
| - Make sure you use **HTML** as the export format in Notion, **not Markdown**. | |
| - If Obsidian appears to freeze during import, disable community plugins and try again. | |
| Run into something else? Search [the Importer repository](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-importer/issues) to see if others have experienced it. | |
