Great question! We've put together this comprehensive resource to help you evaluate a possible switch from Notion to Coda - check it out.

This error can be caused by a number of different issues. You may sometimes encounter this error if your workspace is particularly large. Therefore, you can try to work around it by importing smaller portions (such as single pages) at a time, rather than the entire workspace at once.

HTML exports do not support formulas, filtering, and alternative database views, so they won’t come through “as is” in your imports to Coda. However, Coda will retain the values and data, allowing you to apply new formulas or filters after importing. After the import is complete, you can refer to the Read me: Import next steps pages in your doc to learn more about what updates are needed.

At the moment, the HTML export is the best option for import fidelity. We are working on updates to the Importer to leverage the Notion API.

In the HTML export, there is no information about the specific date format used - only plain text, which could be ambiguous while parsing. To avoid potential misconversion, all dates are aligned with the document settings where the import is performed. We recommmend double-checking your imported dates to make sure they're formatted as desired, and make updates as needed.

In the HTML export, only the options that are actually used in select, multi-select, or status columns are included. Any unused options are omitted. To restore the complete list of options for these columns, you will need to manually add any missing values.

The Notion export does not provide information about cell background colors in databases. As a result, these colors cannot be imported and will need to be manually applied if necessary.

Yes. The term “workspace” means different things between Notion & Coda. In Coda, your workspace is the home base for your team, with folders to organize your docs and permissions. Within your folders, you have docs.

What Notion calls a “workspace” will feel much like a single Coda doc, with subpages. But, in Coda, you can have as many docs you want within the same folder or workspace vs. a single “workspace” in Notion. If you wish to retain each Notion page as a distinct entity, export each page individually to convert each into a doc with its own permissions.

If you use Safari, update your General Settings so that the Open “safe” files after downloading option is unchecked before you get started. Otherwise, Safari will automatically unzip your Notion export, which will hinder you from importing to Coda.

Large imports may take up to a few hours to complete (e.g. 2 GB+). Minimize your browser window and let the importer run in the background while Coda does all of the work for you! Give your import ample time to load.

Closing the window restarts the upload of your Notion doc(s) to our servers. If you see an error message when you try to close the window or navigate to another page, that means the import is not done loading yet. If you do leave the window, the import will typically resume or restart the next time you visit the page.

For best results, we recommend keeping the zip file under 500 MB.

Currently, Coda cannot import zip files larger than 2GB. If your zip file is above this size limit, please first unzip the file, then upload the unzipped folder to Coda.
