Use this interactive demo to learn how to bring a template file into your Notion workspace.

Quick summary

Notion's Import feature lets you bring external template files — including Text and Markdown formats — directly into your workspace in just a few clicks. This step-by-step walkthrough shows exactly how to import a Notion template file and access it instantly after upload.


Steps

  1. Open Notion and click the three-dots icon in the upper right section.
  2. Select Import from the settings menu.
  3. In the Import settings, select the import type that matches your template file — for example, choose Text & Markdown.
  4. Select where you want to import the file under Import location.
  5. Click Choose file or drag your text or Markdown template file into the upload box, then click Continue.
  6. Wait for Notion to finish the import process.
  7. Click Go to import to open the imported template file in Notion.
  8. Review the imported page and edit the template content as needed.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's import feature removes the friction of manually recreating documents by letting users bring existing Text and Markdown template files directly into their workspace. This is critical for teams and individuals who maintain standardized templates in external tools and need to migrate or reuse them in Notion quickly. Supporting formats like Markdown means developers, writers, and project managers can transfer structured content without losing formatting. Streamlining the template import process helps Notion users adopt consistent workflows faster and get more value from their existing content libraries.
