Importing Articles from Markdown

In this article

Bring existing documentation into Alps by uploading a Markdown file, or a ZIP of several Markdown files at once.

If you already have documentation written somewhere else, you don't have to retype it. Alps can import Markdown files directly, so you can migrate existing content instead of starting from a blank page.

What you can import

Upload a single Markdown file, or a ZIP file containing several Markdown files, to bring in multiple articles at once.

Choosing where imported articles land

Before importing, you can set a default folder, a default status, and a default visibility that gets applied to everything you import. This means a large batch import doesn't leave you with dozens of unsorted draft articles to clean up afterward.

After importing

Review imported articles like you would any other, they land in your workspace as regular Alps articles, fully editable in the built-in editor and ready to publish once you're happy with them.
