### Import

We currently offer support for importing the following:

* By app:
  * Obsidian
  * [**Notion**](https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/advanced/data-and-security/import-export/migrate-from-notion)
  * **Any-Block**:
    * **Protobuf**
    * **JSON**
* By file type:
  * **MD (Markdown)**: You can import individual `.md` files or a zip file containing multiple Markdown files.
  * **HTML**
  * **TXT**
  * **CSV:** It is possible to map columns to existing pre-installed properties like Phone, E-mail, etc. by just using the same title.

After your import is done, a new collection should appear in your pinned widget in your sidebar. All of your imported objects should be there.
