Import from Bear

Bear offers both Markdown (.md) and TextBundle (.textbundle) export options. Craft allows you to import both formats, ensuring your content and attachments transfer smoothly.

Export Your Bear Notes

1. Open Bear and select the notes you want to export.
2. Choose to export as either Markdown (.md) or TextBundle (.textbundle) files.

• If you export as TextBundle, you can import the file directly into Craft with no additional adjustments needed.
• If you export as Markdown (.md), follow the steps below to ensure that your PDFs, images, and other assets are correctly imported.

Importing Markdown Files with PDFs and Other Assets from Bear

At Craft, we aim to make importing content from other apps as seamless as possible. When exporting Markdown files from Bear, there are a few formatting details to keep in mind to ensure your PDFs, images, and attachments import correctly.

Adjusting Your Markdown File for a Seamless Import

1. No Need to Remove the Embed Code
   Starting from Craft version 3.1.0, you no longer need to remove the following embed code from your Markdown files:

   <!-- {"embed":"true"} -->
   

2. Separate Each Asset into Its Own Paragraph
   Ensure each PDF, image, or other attachment is placed on its own line rather than grouped within a single paragraph. This can be done directly in Bear by pressing Enter before and after each asset.

   Example in Bear:

   This is some text before the image.
   
   ![Image](image.png)
   
   This is some text after the image.
   
   ![PDF](document.pdf)
   

   💡 Tip: After exporting, open the Markdown file in a text editor to double-check that each asset reference is on its own line. This ensures the files will display correctly when imported into Craft.
