# Importing / Exporting ## How does importing work? You can import standard Markdown files into Notabase. If any imported files have the same name as an existing note inside of Notabase, then the existing note will be **overridden**, so be careful. If you have wikilinks `[[ ]]` in your Markdown, we also support the wikilink aliases using the `|` symbol, e.g. `[[Note|Note alias]]` will create a note link in Notabase with the text "Note alias" that points to the note "Note". ## How does exporting work? You can export your notes to standard Markdown. Notabase features not present in standard Markdown are converted to their best equivalent. For example, note links are converted into wikilinks, and block references are converted to plaintext. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
