Import from Notion

Nexus can import any public Notion page directly — your pages arrive as native Nexus blocks, ready to edit immediately.

How to import

  1. In Notion, open the page you want to import. Make sure it's set to Public (or share it as a web page).
  2. Copy the page URL from your browser's address bar.
  3. In Nexus, open the page where you want the import to land, or navigate to the folder you want to import into.
  4. Click the Import icon in the toolbar (the download arrow), or right-click a folder in the sidebar and select Import.
  5. Paste the Notion URL into the field and click Import.

Nexus fetches the page and converts it to a Nexus document. Sub-pages are imported as nested nodes.

What imports cleanly

  • Paragraphs, headings (H1–H3)
  • Bulleted and numbered lists
  • Checkboxes and task lists
  • Code blocks (syntax-highlighted)
  • Blockquotes
  • Tables
  • Images (embedded by URL)
  • Inline formatting: bold, italic, inline code, links
  • Nested sub-pages (imported as child nodes)

What doesn't import

  • Notion databases (tables with properties, filters, views) — arrive as static text exports
  • Synced blocks — arrive as static copies of their content at import time
  • Notion formulas, rollups, and relations
  • Comments from Notion

Tips for a smooth migration

  • Import section by section rather than everything at once. Start with your most-used pages.
  • Use the import as an opportunity to clean up. Move what's worth keeping, archive what isn't.
  • Notion database content can be exported as CSV from Notion, then referenced from a Nexus page.
