# Import from other tools

_Bring a Notion database or page, a ClickUp list, a Jira project, or a CSV into Snoze._

Canonical: https://snoze.dev/help/import-from-other-tools/

You can bring existing work into Snoze one item at a time: a **Notion**
database or page, a **ClickUp** list, a **Jira** project, or a **CSV** file.
Each becomes a normal Snoze database (or page) that you own outright.

## Import from Notion, ClickUp or Jira

1. Connect the tool first under **Workspace settings → Connected apps**.
2. Click **New** where you want the import to land (the sidebar or a folder)
   and choose **Import from…**.
3. Pick the provider, then search or browse for the item: a Notion database or
   page, a ClickUp list, or a Jira project.
4. Confirm. Snoze creates the database or page and fills it.

### What comes across

| From            | Becomes               | Fields kept                                                                          |
| --------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Notion database | Database with records | Text, long text, select, multi-select, date, people, files                           |
| Notion page     | Page                  | Blocks, up to 200 per page                                                           |
| ClickUp list    | Database with records | Status, priority, dates, assignees, tags, description, custom fields                 |
| Jira project    | Database with records | Status, type, priority, labels, assignee, reporter, description, created and updated |

- **Select options** are recreated. Re-importing later adds new options
  without removing yours.
- **People** are matched to workspace members by email. Anyone not in the
  workspace is left blank.
- **Attachments** are copied into your workspace storage, up to 30 files or
  10 MB per import.
- **Related databases** in Notion are followed two levels deep.

### What does not

Computed fields (formula, rollup, created by, updated by, buttons) are not
imported; add a Snoze [formula](https://snoze.dev/help/relations-and-formulas/) instead.
Relations whose target cannot be imported are skipped.

### Importing again

Importing the same item a second time **refreshes it in place** rather than
making a copy: records are matched by their source id, and a page's body is
replaced. That makes it safe to run an import early and again before you
switch over.

The source stays connected only as long as you keep the app connected; the
imported data is yours either way.

## Import a CSV

Open a database's **data menu** and choose **Import CSV**. Snoze reads the header row, guesses a field type per column (text, number,
date, checkbox, select, person, long text), and lets you adjust before it
creates the records.

Importing the same file again updates the rows it already created instead of
duplicating them. A CSV import is a one-off: nothing stays connected.

> [!NOTE]
> An import lands as ordinary databases and pages. Rename fields, change their
> types, split a database in two, delete the lot: nothing about it is special
> afterwards.
