How to import data
Prepare the data you want to import into the project in a .JSON file with the appropriate formatting and upload it by clicking the Import Pages button.
The data format used by Cosense is shown in the footer of your settings page.
Important notes about Importing
If the same title is used for two pages, one of them will be overwritten. When you select a file to import, please check that all pages have different titles to avoid this.
To import data it must be in the correct JSON format. Depending on your data source this may require some knowledge of coding and scripting. We plan to create a simple migration tool in the future -- please contact us and let us know you are interested in this. The maximum file size for importing is 30MB. Please divide your data into multiple files if it is larger than this.
How to export and backup your data
To export your project data, see the top bar and click the icon to go to Menu--> Settings--> Page Data--> click Export Pages
If you want to backup your Cosense project data, be sure to check the box Include metadata to save the dates lines were created and edited. However, if you want to export to another service, the data will be simpler & probably work better if you do not check this box. For Developers
There are a few tools to convert various formats to the Cosense format on GitHub:
