Import an article from a Markdown file

Use these steps to bring text you wrote elsewhere into an article by importing a Markdown file.

Before you begin

• You need the Editor role or higher on the knowledge base.
• Have a Markdown file, with the extension .md or .txt.
• Open the article in Authoring. Import replaces the article’s text, so use a new, empty article if you want to keep the current text.

Steps

1. In Authoring, open or create the article.
2. Select Import Markdown on the editor toolbar.
3. Choose the file.

DocSpade confirms with Markdown imported.

Result

The text of the file replaces the article’s content. The title is not changed. Check the article, then save a draft or save it for publishing. Nothing is saved until you do.
