Trilium Notes supports importing Markdown restricted to the CommonMark specification (where tables are not supported )

Import

Clipboard import

If you want to import just a chunk of markdown from clipboard, you can do it from editor block menu:

File import

You can also import Markdown files from files:

  • single markdown file (with .md extension)
  • whole tree of markdown files (packaged into .zip archive)
    • Markdown files need to be packaged into ZIP archive because browser can't read directories, only single files.
    • You can use e.g. 7-zip to package directory of markdown files into the ZIP file

Export

Subtree export

You can export whole subtree to ZIP archive which will have directory structured modelled after subtree structure:

Single note export

If you want to export just single note without its subtree, you can do it from Note actions menu:

Exporting protected notes

If you want to export protected notes, enter a protected session first! This will export the notes in an unencrypted form, so if you reimport into Trilium, make sure to re-protect these notes.
