linkHow do I import from Roam?
The first step is to export your existing Roam data:
To import from Roam, export your data by selecting "Export All" and the JSON Export Format. Expand the zip file to get a single .json file containing your exported data.
Once you've exported your Roam data:
Click the Amplenote Settings gear icon in the lower-left corner of the application to view your account settings
Select the "Import Notes" tab
Click the button to "Import from Roam"
Click the "Start import" button
💡 Notes imported from Roam will be automatically tagged with imported/roam.
linkWhat is imported?
Any note references [[Link to a note]];
Any inline tags #Inline tag:
Inline tags are imported as note references; In this example the reference will spell "#Inline tag", while the note itself will be titled "Inline tag", without the pound # sign.
Note that in Amplenote, "tags" are a different abstraction in Amplenote. Learn more here: Organizing with tags.
