Import and export research

Move bounded Markdown, HTML, text, JSON, ENEX, Kindle, Word, email and provider artifacts deliberately.

01

Local import preview

Markdown, HTML, text, portable JSON, ENEX and Kindle clippings under 2 MB are parsed in the browser. Ratdolt removes active HTML/ENEX content, rejects malformed JSON and shows the complete normalized title and body for editing before save.

Instapaper full-account CSV becomes a reviewed private reading list, while its text, Markdown or HTML article-note exports become editable Research. Legacy Pocket CSV/HTML can recover an export file you already own, but Pocket shut down and its API stopped transacting in 2025.

  1. Open Transfer / Portable integrations.
  2. Select one supported research or reading-list file.
  3. Review the complete preview, preserve or remove organization, then explicitly save.

Export one saved source

Choose Export highlights directly on a Library publication to open that exact source in Composer with its export group focused. Word-compatible DOC, browser Print / Save as PDF, plain text and email all carry source provenance plus the private highlight labels, annotations, folders and optional reading note.

Portable Markdown, JSON, ENEX and HTML remain beside those four direct outputs. Email has a provider-free local-draft path; direct delivery requires a signed-in saved source, keeps a five-per-hour and 20-per-day limit and retains neither recipient nor content in its rate-limit ledger. Notion and Evernote require their own explicit connections.

  1. Open a saved Library publication and choose Export highlights.
  2. Choose Word, Print / Save as PDF, text or local email draft; inspect the source attribution before using the artifact.
  3. Use direct email only when a configured account should send the bounded research body.
