Importing Data
PrivStack can import data from popular productivity apps. Each plugin handles its own import — check the plugin’s documentation for supported formats and step-by-step instructions.
How to Import
- Open the plugin you want to import into
- Look for the Import option (usually in the plugin’s menu or settings)
- Select the source format
- Choose your export file
- Map fields if needed, then import
General Tips
- Export from your old app first. Each app has its own export process — check their documentation.
- Use standard formats when possible. Markdown, JSON, CSV, ICS, and vCard are widely supported.
- Import before you start working. It’s easier to import into a fresh plugin than to merge with existing data.
- Check the result. Review imported items to make sure everything came through correctly.
Supported Sources
Import support varies by plugin. First-party plugins support migration from popular alternatives in their category. Check each plugin’s documentation for the full list of supported import sources and formats.
After Importing
- Delete the export file if it contains sensitive data (especially password exports)
- Review imported items for any formatting issues
- Set up sync to make your imported data available on all devices
