CSV

We support almost any CSV file generated by third-party bookmarking apps.

How to prepare my own CSV file?

If you want to upload your own CSV file just make sure:

• Comma delimited
• Columns: url, folder, title, note, tags, created
• url column is required, other are optional
• use / to specify nested folder, like a/b/c
• to have multiple tags just put them in quotes, like "tag1, tag2"
• created column should have Unix timestamp or date in ISO 8601 format
• Column order doesn't matter

Here an example CSV file:

folder,url,title,note,tags,created
"Folder",http://google.com,Google,"Note","search, app",1629980125
"Folder/Nested folder",http://yahoo.com,Yahoo,"Note","search, app",1629980125

Validate your CSV file before uploading!

Settings

Before you start import, please select how much data you want to transfer:

Mode	Description
Only new folders and bookmarks	When you upload the same import file again but with new data, this mode will prevent uploading duplicates and ensure structure untouched, only new folders and bookmarks will be imported. If you not sure select this mode
Import all	Select this mode if you want to import everything as is (including duplicates)
