# Import from Evernote

> Import your Evernote notebooks into Craft by exporting them from the Evernote desktop app and uploading the files.

## How to Start the Import

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Craft">
    Open Craft (native app or web).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the import">
    Click the **Import** icon at the bottom of the left sidebar and select **Import from Evernote**. This opens the import page at [docs.craft.do/import/evernote](https://docs.craft.do/import/evernote).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Export Your Notes from Evernote

<Info title="Important">
  Exports can only be done from the **Evernote desktop app** — it is not possible to export from Evernote Web. See [Evernote's export guide](https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005557) for detailed instructions.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Evernote desktop app">
    Launch the Evernote desktop application on your computer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the notebook(s) to export">
    To select multiple notebooks, hold **Shift** while clicking.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export as .enex">
    Right-click on the selected note(s) and choose **Export...**. Select **ENEX** as the file format.

    <Warning title="Check your export options">
      When exporting from Evernote, you can choose what to include in the `.enex` file. Make sure to select the data you want to bring into Craft:

      * **Tags**
      * **Comments**
      * **Tasks**
      * **Reminders**

      If any of these are not included in your exported `.enex` files, they will **not** be imported into Craft. There is no way to add them after the fact without re-exporting from Evernote.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Upload and Import

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your .enex files">
    Drag and drop your `.enex` files onto the upload area, or click to browse. You can upload up to **50 files** at a time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your destination">
    Select the **Craft Space** where you want your Evernote notes to appear. Optionally select a **destination folder** to organize your imported notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure options">
    Optionally toggle **Include comments** to import comments from your Evernote notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the import">
    Click **Import**. You'll see a progress bar as your files are uploaded and imported. You can close the page at any time — the import will continue in the background.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After the Import

Once complete, you'll see a confirmation with a button that takes you to Craft, where you'll find your imported documents.
