SWITCH FROM NOTION
Move from Notion to Kovenar
Export your Notion workspace as HTML and import it in minutes — pages become docs with their nesting, images come along, and databases move over as CSV tables. Here's what crosses over, and what doesn't.
Read the import report after the first run: it tells you exactly how many pages, tables and images came across — and what was skipped.
How to export
Take the ZIP archive out of Notion in plain steps. The vendor's own screenshots live in their guide, where they stay current.
- 01In Notion, open Settings → General, then "Export all workspace content" — or export a single page from its ⋯ menu → Export.
- 02Pick the HTML format, keep "Include subpages" on and turn on "Create folders for subpages" — the folders become your page tree.
- 03Notion emails you a download link — save the zip.
- 04In Kovenar, start an import and drop the zip; you'll get a report of anything that didn't map.
- 05For each database you want as a real table, export it on its own (⋯ → Export → Markdown & CSV), unzip it and import the `.csv` as a CSV import.

What comes across
Straight from the importer's mapping — not a promise, the code path that runs when you drop your export.
What doesn't (yet)
The same report you'll see after importing — nothing disappears quietly.
- Database views, properties and relations in the HTML zip — flattened to text; export the database as CSV for a real table.
- Bold, italics, links and other inline formatting — the text comes across, the styling doesn't.
- Duplicate column names — suffixed (`Name 2`) and counted in the report.
- Blocks outside the modelled subset — imported as plain text and counted.
- Images missing from the export — skipped, and the count is reported.
- Workspace members — the export doesn't carry them, so nothing arrives pre-assigned.
- Comments and page discussions — not read from the export.
The whole picture, across the product, lives in the trade-off list.

Questions, answered
01Do I export Markdown or HTML?
HTML for the workspace — the importer reads Notion's HTML pages and rebuilds the page tree from its folders. Databases are the exception: export each one as Markdown & CSV and import the `.csv` to get a real table.
02How long does the import take?
Most workspaces import in minutes, and you get a report of anything that didn't map before you commit to switching. A 100 MB export is budgeted under five minutes.
03Can I keep Notion while I try Kovenar?
Yes. The import makes a fresh copy — Notion is untouched, so you can run both for a month and cancel when you're ready.
04What happens to pages that contain databases?
In the HTML zip a database comes across as text, with each row as its own doc under it. Export the database as CSV and import that file to get it as a table — field types are inferred from the values.
