Already have your documentation in Markdown? Great news - you can seamlessly import it into Waybook, saving hours of manual work and keeping your formatting intact.
Whether your content lives in Notion, Loom, Obsidian, GitHub, or another Markdown-based tool, it’s easy to bring everything into one centralized source of truth within Waybook.
Why Import from Markdown?
Markdown is the go-to format for clean, structured documentation. If you're migrating from tools like:
Notion (exported Markdown pages)
Loom (video transcripts in Markdown)
Obsidian (Markdown vaults)
GitHub (Repos and Wikis using .md files)
HackMD, Bear, or similar editors
Waybook helps you move fast by importing your existing content in just a few clicks - no reformatting required.
How to Import Markdown Files
Follow these simple steps to bring your documentation into Waybook:
Step 1: Export from Your Current Platform
Export your content as .md files. Here's how in popular tools:
Notion: Export → Markdown & CSV
Loom: Download video transcript as Markdown
Obsidian: Files are already in
.mdformatGitHub: Clone or download the repo
Others: Use any “Export as Markdown” or “Save As .md” option
Step 2: Import into Waybook
Open your Waybook Dashboard
Open Import from the left-hand menu, or navigate to the document you want to add content to, and from the list of New Step options, select Import
Select Markdown from the list of options
Upload or drag & drop your
.mdfile(s)Preview and refine before saving
What Happens After Import?
Markdown headings become structured steps in Waybook

Now you can enhance your imported content with:
Embedded videos (e.g. from Loom)

Turning Loom Videos into Searchable Docs
If you’re using Loom for internal walkthroughs or training:
Export your video’s transcript
(Optional) Clean it up in a Markdown editor
