How-to Guide

1. Import with a slash command

Entry point: Document editor area → type / → select Import Markdown

1. Open a Smart Document and place the cursor where you want to insert the content.
2. Type / at the beginning of a blank paragraph.
3. Select Import Markdown from the quick menu, or type /markdown to find it faster.
4. Choose a local .md file in the file picker.
5. Confirm the import. The Markdown content is parsed and inserted at the current cursor position.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The document shows imported headings, lists, quotes, or code blocks.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing, commenting, or sharing the imported content.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If / is not entered at the beginning of a paragraph, the quick menu may not appear as expected.
• Environment note: Slash command import is not available on mobile devices.

2. Import from the top menu bar

Entry point: Top menu bar → Insert → Markdown Import

1. Create or open the target Smart Document.
2. Click Insert on the top menu bar.
3. Select Markdown Import from the menu.
4. Choose the local .md file in the file picker.
5. Open the file to import it into the current document.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The imported content appears in the current document and keeps common structure where possible.
• What you can do next: You can continue formatting, revising, or collaborating on the content.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Make sure you select a .md file instead of another plain text format.
• Environment note: Smart Documents and the local file picker both need to open normally.

3. Import with drag and drop

Entry point: Local folder → drag a .md file into the document editor

1. Open the Smart Document editor.
2. Find the .md file in Finder.
3. Drag the file directly into the document editing area.
4. Release the mouse to start parsing and importing the content.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The document adds the imported Markdown content after the file is dropped.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing the imported result without replacing existing content.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Drop the file inside the document editing area instead of outside the active editor.
• Environment note: The app needs permission to access local files.
