### Import from other sources

You can try importing notes from a variety of apps into UpNote by first exporting them from the original app to HTML, Markdown or plain text and then importing the exported files. Whenever possible, please select the **top‑level folder** for import rather than individual files, so UpNote can access all the content without repeatedly asking for permissions.

**Please note:** While we do our best to import data from other apps, we cannot guarantee that all formatting or elements will be preserved due to the variety of file sources. If you encounter any issues during import, contact us for assistance.

**Performance tip:** To maintain smooth performance, we recommend importing fewer than **10,000 notes** at a time.
