Import data into Tana
Documentation on import methods we currently support.
Overview
Currently we support Workflowy and Roam as native import formats. Check out Tana Intermediate Format to see an early version of community-supported importers for Logseq and Obsidian, and how you could contribute to build an importer for your favorite format.
Documentation
Roam
- Before exporting anything from Roam, you may want to do some preprocessing on your graph. Here are some tips on things to consider.
- When ready, choose Export all to download a JSON of your graph in a zip file
- In Tana, go to Settings > Import content > Roam, and drag your JSON file in to be uploaded
- Any imports will create a new Tana workspace, so it's separate from your existing workspaces.
- If you want to access the Roam content from another workspace, you can go to your workspace home, press on ··· > Allow content from... and check the Roam workspace.
